Break problem

Does anyone know what would cause a shutter in the front while braking? It only occurs in the 5mph range between 35-40mph. I would have thought it was warped rotors but I had new ones install on front and rear just a few months ago.

Re: Break problem

I did my brakes about 7K miles ago with ceramic pads. The brakes were fine for the first 1K then started to shudder when stopping .I just took off the rotors again to be checked and they were slightly warped again. I reinstalled them and made sure to torque them 165lbs and in a criscross pattern (per Ford manual).I would have your rotors rechecked to see if they are warped and then make sure the lugnuts are torqued properly.

Re: Break problem

It's very easy to warp the rotors on a heavy vehicle, especially with a lot of stop and go traffic and especially in hill country.....towing or not.
