Description of the problem | Severe vibration and pulsing when brakes were applied. I put the truck on my lift and tried to rotate the front wheels, there was severe brake drag, which made rotating the front wheels close to impossible. I removed the wheels and did a visual inspection and found that the inner brake pads were considerably more worn than the outer pads. I then removed the calipers and found that corrosion occurred binding the inner pads to the brake pad holders. I live in the north east and road salt is used in the winter months, this should be taken into consideration when the brakes are designed so that this corrosion can't occur. I corrected the problem by re-placing the rotors and brake pads, using brake lubricant to help prevent the corrosion. Doing this repair corrected the problem. |
