What is causing these markings?

Heres a couple if pics of what i saw today. never seen something like this before so lets hear from some of the gurus. the truck is a 2000 Excursion 4x4 with the V10. It has a 6 inch lift. i have noticed the front end shaking under braking and pulling to the right lately.

Someone used a pipe wrench to adjust your toe during an alignment. As for your shimmy sounds like warped rotors.

Ok thats not bad. I was expecting worse. I had the rotors turned before and it didnt fix the shaking. So i was thinking it might be related.

When rotors are cut it only makes them thinner and more prone to warping.
Check your caliper pins and pistons and ball joints and tie rods too.
Also check your wheel bearings.

Get new rotors and clean and lube the slide pins. Make sure the calipers pistons go in easily.

Shaking when the brakes are applied is usually warped rotors.

pulling to one side indicates a sticking caliper.

As stated disassemble, clean and lubed slide pins and stainless slide plates. Reassemble with lubed caliper pins.
