Vibration when braking

[dhows31]

Sometimes when I'm braking the truck kinda shakes and vibrates and I'm not really sure if it's anything to be checking or if I just never noticed it. Any help would be appreciated

I would check your rotors. They could be warped.

let us know what you find.

90% of the time it's warped rotors or worn & loose tie rods

I'd guess warped rotors. Have them checked. There is nothing more annoying.

Also wheel bearings

I am with the warped Rotor crowd! Very common issue

Okay with all the rotor guesses, what kind should I get if I need new ones?

I've read up a little on the EBC rotors. Some people have said they get a wind noise, like a whistle, from the EBC rotors.
I have to Power Stop brakes. Front and rear rotors and pads. I have zero complaints, and also almost zero brake dust too.
Some people say the Power Stop rotors are more for looks than function. They do look good, and since they're zinc coated, they have a silver color them. OEM and other non coated rotors have a rusting look to them.

Over stock, EBC is like night and day. They NEVER fade.
The best of the best would be EBC with braided lines.
also, zero brake dust.

I say EBC
Work great
Look great
Last long time

I'm gonna try to go to the shop tomorrow and see what they say.

OP said

any time I have had to replace rotors I have noticed the brake pedal pulsating, and sometimes the steering wheel will travel slightly left to right when braking. The pulsating brake pedal and shake of the steering wheel did not shake or vibrate the entire vehicle, at least that is not how I would describe how warped rotors felt...

Could it be something else?

I would say new rotors and pads a basic break job, rotors today are cheap enough IMO a waste of $$$ to get them turned! Also they are not as thick as they were years ago and turning them if possible would make them thinner and easier to warp, BUT the best thing to go is have someone who knows trucks/cars way better then me look at them. Do you have a mechanic you can trust?
Trucks are like dating you are always shelling out $$$ to make them happy lol My RAM is getting new tires today :O Hope she likes them lol

for the money, i like centric pads and rotors.
