Hey all, could use any insights or trouble shooting suggestions.
I had a pop in the front passenger side of my truck and couldn't figure out what the deal was. Had to wait for a shop to look at it due to Covid and turns out that my slide bolts for my caliper were completely missing and my caliper was hoping on bumps making a slamming noise. It had been a year and a half since I changed my brakes and the shop was perplexed at how my bolts were missing.
The shop was gracious enough to replace two bolts for a modest $200 . I then checked my brakes and realized I my EBC yellowstuff brakes were nearly gone in the front after 25K miles. I changed them with the stronger green stuff in the front. Immediately I noticed a wobble. It was very faint until 80 mph and then the brake pedal and steering wheel would sometimes shake violently. Not quite death wobble intense. I figured I need to turn my rotors since it was a different style pad and there was a lip on the old rotors. So, I bought new ebc slotted and dimpled rotors and swapped them out. I still sometimes get a shake on the highway and usually when over 80. Things got much better after the new rotors, but I'm still perplexed. There's no issues at all when applying braking. Sometimes the wobbles are present at 70 mph around curves and what not.
It seems to be rather inconsistent and through various research, I'm not sure how to best trouble shoot. 77K miles w/ a 6 inch BDS lift running 37's, so no surprise that something is going out, I would just like to figure out what so I don't have to start randomly replacing stuff.
Thanks in advance!
