Just bought a 94 F150, 5.0 auto, 4WD, short box, regular cab. When I brake the truck bounces. At first I thought it was warped rotors on the front. But strangely enough, when I put the truck in Neutral before I hit the brakes, the bounce is almost not noticeable. Is it possible the U joints would cause this? Or maybe the tranny? The truck rides nice other than hitting the brakes. Thanks for any guidance...

 

this is a total shot in the dark but maybe the rear rotors are warped? the shaking may be less noticable in nuetral because the shake isnt going thru the drive shaft and directly to where you can feel it. just throwin some ideas out there.

 

yea my 2wd does the same and i know it is warpped rotors on the front and i think the drums out back too....

so when the cash is availible im getting new everything for the brakes all the way around

 

Yeah my truck was the same way, I havent changed the rotors yet but after more than 2 months of driving it how it is, they evened out. Im definately doing a brake job this summer.

 

If you feel it in the steering wheel its the front , if you feel it in the seat its usally the rear ..Lew
