TSB 04-26-11. Replace front rotors and check for green dot on rack and pinion.

Had mine done and there is a noticiable difference. Less brake dust and no vibration when braking.

TSB 04-26-11

FRONT END SHUDDER/VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING - VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE 11/18/2004

Publication Date: December 21, 2004

FORD: 2004-2005 F-150


This article supersedes TSB 04-15-01 to update the vehicle model years.

ISSUE:
Some 2004-2005 F-150 vehicles built before 11/18/2004 may exhibit a shudder/vibration from the front brakes when braking.

ACTION:
Replace the front rotors. Vehicles built prior to 8/20/2003, verify that the rack and pinion is at the latest design level. There will be a green dot on the rack and pinion bar code label. If there is no green dot, it will be necessary to replace the rack and pinion also. Refer to Workshop Manual Sections 206-03 and 211-02.

All TSBs are listed in the 2004-5 Forum Announcements sticky. You managed to read my Free sticker thread up there, but not the Forum Announcements? Busted!
