rotors crack on inside?
thats new to me.old brakes made pedal hop and steering pull.
new brake job was better for awhile, then i noticed front end hopping. maybe rotors are bad or cut down too much?
could be a new thing thats why i was leaning on front axle.
i still have yet to tear it down though.
good site. thanks for reply.
i thought for sure it was yks tires till i rotated

If the rotors were bad ( HAD GOTTEN HOT AND DISTORTED ) they could have easly been damaged on the inside . I have an EX and have had to replace the rotors already. I only have 90,000 mileson it but they distorted and then cut and they were bad again in less than two weeks.

hoppin thing
i hate to tear down 4/4 front brakes, exp with lockouts.
i agree with as many miles i have hard tellin how many times rotors where cut and they were very bad, pedal pumpin before.
i don't know why they didn't tell me to get new rotors.
guess the figured out i'm cheap huh!
oh well . i wouldn't trade my truck for anything except maybe a bigger 1.
thanks agian.
