So when I bought my truck over a year ago, every time I hit the brakes at 45 mph, the truck would shake a little, almost like the rotors were warped. Well soon after I got the truck I replaced the front rotors and pads. Its still shaking a little at 45 mph when I hit the brakes, only now its getting worse. I already had to replace the passengers side wheel hub. I did the brakes at 100k, now its got 110k on it. AND my steering wheel is still shaking when I hit bumps:mad: I already replaced the whole entire steering knuckle on it. Anyone have any idea why my truck is still shaking during braking? Ball joints, wheel hubs? Someone told me about putting a stablizer bar on the truck? Any input is greatly appreciate. Thanks

oh, and something new it started doing the other day, when I turn the steering wheel over half way, it feels like something is hitting somewhere under there. I can feel it on my gas pedal.....I got under the truck, didnt find anything, looked under the dash, still nothing....

I'd say jack up the truck and start looking her over. When my truck shook at that speed it was the wheel bearings...

wheel bearings are good, checked them the other day. I am thinking brakes again. I am going to have all 4 rotors turned, new pads, and see if that does it....
