Bounce, Bounce, Bounce...

A few months back, I had an issue with a slight 'shutter' in reverse - only happened while under load. Now, under load I get a VERY evident 'shutter' coming to a stop forward or in reverse. The back end bounces pretty good. The wife thinks I am ignoring it intentionally since it makes things inside bounce too

Does this sound like a sticking caliper sliding pin? I do plan to grease them this weekend.

Sounds like a warped rotor caused by stuck slide pins.

Possible u-joint as well. I had one go out on my truck and it was really evident when slowing down.

If you have an IR thermometer you can shoot the temps on the wheels after a drive, that should tell you something about what's going on with the brakes.

Thinking this may be it now. I read another member chased it down to u-joint in rear drive shaft as well.

I did grease all my slide pins and thought I cured it until last night it reared it's big ugly head coming to a stop light. Rotors looked as good as could be, so looks like a drive shaft rebuild is in my future.

Those u-joints go very fast once they present for awhile. Change them all if that indeed is the problem. The bad one stresses the good ones!

Lucky dog
Afraid I'll never get that side benefit.
So did you decide to fix the problem, or keep the symptom?
