Brake Question - 2005 Dodge 2500 2x4
Truck: 2005 dodge diesel 2500 Quad cab with 80K miles
I had the brake pads replaced the other day
rear pads were about gone, front had more pad left, so they must have been replaced before I got the truck at 40K
we did not replace or turn down the rotors: truck had no brake vibration before pads were replaced.
after replacing the pads, the truck started having a vibration when stopping like the rotors were warped, so my mech replaced the front rotors and dressed down the new front pads.
still picking up a small amount of vibration when applying the brakes.
The mech thinks it may be the rear rotors that are warped.
I ask my auto parts supplier about this,
he said that many of the trucks that pull heavy loads like campers, equipment trailers, cattle trailers, most all will also replace the rear rotors.
He ask, is the vibration in the steering wheel or the body of the truck, I said body of the truck, then he said that was the rear rotors!!!!!!!!!!
if front rotors were warped the steering wheel would be going back and forth in your hands each time you applied the brakes?????.
I am not so sure at this point what to do as the rear rotors are about 1/3 more cost than the front rotors.
have any of you heard of this before ?????????
having to replace the rear rotors to stop a brake vibration.
planning on pulling out for a trip this weekend, my bumper pull camper only weights about 6K, so I am not going to over load the old dodge, just want to be safe.
Thanks for any input,
