    Brake Shake....

    Thanks, this will help to know. Last garage was supposed to use all Raybestos, but who really knows?

    Brake Shake....

    This is actually one of the things I have discovered. The bearings are very quiet and smooth but one (passenger) has more play than it should for sure and coupled with a sticking caliper on that side seems to be at least part of the problem, Thank You, I'll read the information... I'm sure it'll...

    Brake Shake....

    I want to thank you for taking the time to go over the "big picture". Your post made me really think hard maybe outside the box if you will, blaming the stream of replaced parts with a similar result. There are bushings and original ball joints on board.. so as you say most likely the brakes...

    Brake Shake....

    This is what I have picked up from many of the answers to my posted questions, overall. One poster recommends a Rayestos product, do you have a suggested brake pad that can fill the bill for a good set f pads to replace with? Thank You, you have helped solidify (with others) my suspected cause...

    Brake Shake....

    Thanks, this mechanic hasn't touched the brakes yet and he's sort of a family friend, the other four mechanics that worked on the brakes are either dead or out of the business. I think he's just taking it one step at a time , replacing the Master Cylinder, Booster, and rubber hoses and flushing...

    Brake Shake....

    yes, all 4 at the same time. I looked it up, Gabriel Ultra Shocks. I have to see what I can get them to do, I'd rather do all 4 KYB's, not sure about Bilstein at nearly $90 each for the 4600's series.

    Brake Shake....

    Well I wondered about Gabriel Shocks but the guy on the phone at Summit Racing Parts said they were better than the KYB set that was $100 more expensive. One of the rears leaking oil and if I can get them to replace all of them will switch to something better. The bouncing has been going on for...

    Brake Shake....

    They are all original, I'm having them replaced along with the master cylinder because it has a slight bypass feel and the fluid although flushed 2 years ago is really dark. That's happening next week but my mechanic says rotors run out fine and pads are even and almost 5mm so he suggests...

    Brake Shake....

    This is what I was thinking of doing next since nothing else was making sense. All of my brake work was done by mechanics on this truck, I've done all this when I was a kid but not lately. I assume the rotors have to be removed to "roloc" both sides to clean off any brake pad residue because of...

    Brake Shake....

    No, I don't ride the brakes, my Wife will tell that I wait till the last second to stop. :) Again, 0 issues with the original brakes until 90K when replacement parts were installed. Tested using the Parking Brake, no bounce, PB works well. Shocks replaced recently, decent quality I assume. I...

    Brake Shake....

    It's actually bouncing from 10-15mph to stop. It does feel like its catching on something making the bounce, like it's hitting a sticky spot as it rotates. Checking run-out shows nearly perfect on both rotors. One person suggests it's the semi-metallic pads depositing material on the rotor...

    Brake Shake....

    OK, no I don't really feel it in the steering wheel or the pedal (pedal hard to tell with it bouncing), no ABS light, ABS does work well... it activates fine, DFW drivers. Seems like it takes a few thousand to start up, not just changed. The front of the truck just bounces up and down coming to...

    Brake Shake....

    I've been told that the pads are wearing evenly with no sign of a caliper sticking, so no no-one has ever replaced or serviced the calipers. Isolated the rear, no "bouncing" with just the rears. Parts I'm sure were all over the place, I saw the boxes for the rotors after one changeout (marked...

    Brake Shake....

    Yes replaced the drums and shoes at 210,000 miles when a rear wheel bearing seal went bad, never had been replaced up to that point and the shoes weren't worn completely out, but needed replaced anyway. Looked yesterday to see if the wheel cylinders were still dry, and they were. I've used the...

    Brake Shake....

    Hi, just joined because I'm looking for answers.. I have a 1996 C-1500 regular cab, long bed, bought it brand new and for the first 90K miles it had fantastic overall braking, no complaints or issues. I had the rotors turned and pads installed by a shop, 3K and the front end is bouncing up and...
