brake pulling...vibration when braking
Hi All....Please HELP!
My truck is a 2002 F-350 xl 7.3 L diesel, single rear wheels. I have a vibration when braking. My truck has 61K on it. I've changed the brakes, calipers and rotors on the fronts, (rotors and pads needed it, thought the caliper was sticking.) but the truck still pulls. My tires aren't the best. I've checked the front suspension and the tie-rod bushing was pretty worn. I could move the tie-rod assembly and tie rod end with my hand while the truck was on the ground. I know that the tie-rod ends have rounded "*****" so to speak, but should I be able to move the entire assembly within its range with my hand? Could that be causing my problem. The truck only vibrates and pulls (to the right) when braking, and at all speeds.
Thanks in advance!!!!

If it vibrates and pulls to the right while braking, you still have a brake problem. You need to get it fixed ASAP!
You have one rotor that is warped (vibration) and one caliper that isn't working properly (pulls to the right).
