Unhappy brake problems

hey,

i have a 1995 f-250 460 4x4 that has some problems with the front brakes...whenever you just regularly step on the brakes you can feel the brakes like "shuttering" i guess

i have put new calipers and rotors, but the problems still continue

any advice would be much apprieciated

thanks

rear brakes could be out of round.

new rotors could need turning.

Brake pulsations are caused by warped rotors or drums. Have them turned like quicklook2 says and it will go away.

you say you have new rotors, did this happen when they were brand new or has it been a while. Ive had this problem in my saturn, and just changed the rotors and all was fine. Don't see why new rotors would shake or pulsate like that unless there was something else wrong.

sometimes they are warped or not perfectly true from factory.

especially the cheap ones from china.

i think andy pointed this out a long time ago, he also says very hard to get them on the hub without warping them.
