"Brake Grabs"
I have a 1998 F150, 2wd, 4.6 V8, Auto. trans, 120,000 miles.
When I drive around 30+ mph and have to come to a fair quick stop, my right rear wheel grabs.
As far as I know there's no air in the system. The other three wheels stops properly. It has a solid brake pedal.
About two years ago I replaced new front brake pads and rotors . The rear brakes and drum check out OK.
I haven't check it out as of yet because I don't know where to start.
I appreicate any good advice.
Thanks in advance.

what do the rear brakes look like now? maybe try to adjust them if everything checks out. i have heard of front brakes grabbing when they are completly worn but i dont think the rears would do that. they only way to find out for sure is to jack it up and take a look, that way you can know what you are working with.

(brakes Grab)
PROBLEM SOLVE. I took the drums off and noticed cracks in brake shoes and the wheel cylinders were wet behind boot. I think the cyl. cause the brake to grab.
I replaced both wheels with Wagner Thermo Quiet brake shoes and new wheel cylinders for around $75.
Thanks for the reply
