Nice write up on F150 brakes.

Simple, straight forward.

I questioned what was on the back of my F150 so I was searching.


Didn't realize the parking brake had pads inside the rotors.

Every thing checked out good though.

I have a serious vibration in the truck between 55 and 65 MPH.


I think it may be a wheel.

The tires are Michelins and they are only about 9 months old.

Problem may be that they sit so much. Truck only gets about 1500 miles per year on it.

I'd just turn up the radio.

That could cause a kind of flat spot and a vibration. You need to take it to the track more often....towing the track turd of course. :shades:

I have an appointment Weds to check the balance and re-balance if needed.

Hopefully something they can see.

Not in the truck that I know of.

I did a couple times in the workvan and it definitely needs an alignment. New tires first for that though.....
