Thanks for looking!
Background: I have taken the truck to 3 Shop locations looking for an answer and have received 3 different answers so I am coming here for any thoughts on the issues. FORD will not look at the truck; they say they don’t take anything that old anymore and unless it has all motor craft parts it will be rejected.
Symptoms: The truck "Jerks" but ONLY when breaking and has gotten worse over time, usually slow breaking; also has developed a "Squeal" that is getting louder and louder but reduces once drive a bit....Sound seems to be in sequence with the tire rotations.
Local Shops have concluded: All 3 said the Breaks are Good and can't be the issue; One claimed Leaf Springs, Others said Differential/Rear End issue but can’t really say. Other said can’t find anything wrong but recognizes the symptoms.
So, I am at a loss.... Anyone has any ideas of how to determine the correct issue would be helpful.....I have checked Leaf Springs and they seem good, under truck nothing look broken can’t find anything loose....
Thanks for reading. Any ideas of what to do is appreciated...
