05 f150 brake problem?

[Ranger Kip]

slam on the brakes or have a lot of pressure build up in the brakes and the brake pedal vibrates pretty bad and I hear a wobbling sound (havent been able to place it though, might be the pedal).

ideas?

Maybe a rotor is warped have you towed anything? Hauled? Done any excessive braking?

not really, its just general farm work and adsm08 already did all the rotors on a lathe.

There is your problem.

 

[Ranger Kip]

it did it before then too

Actually, I think I only did the front ones. IIRC the front pads were shot, so we did those, and the rears were about to eat a rotor but we couldn't get caliper that was stuck OR the pads that day, so I didn't do the rear.

There is your problem.

He may still be correct. If you cut a rotor and make it thinner it takes less to warp it again.

It could still be the rear rotors if they were not replaced. It could also be a bearing or steering link in the front.

I don't think I looked the front end over for vibration issues when I worked on it last. I just saw that it already needed brakes and said "hey, lets see if cutting the rotors helps any."

Well, when I bring it up Im sure we can figure it out. I can say it might be the bearings though.

It would be awesome if it was just the bearings. Those are fairly easy to do.

well, the truck powerslides great, so I know its not the hubs lol

I wasn't so concerned with the rotors being cut but who cut the rotors.

HAHA. I actually am not a huge fan of the lathe that I used, but it was the only one working at the time.

Come to think of it, it's the only one working again now. We somehow managed to break the auto-feed on a Pro-Tech Warthog.
