Angry Severe shaking while braking

Hi All, I have a 2014 F150 4x4 and I think my brake rotor is warped (struts are new). I bought the tool to confirm my rotors are warped from harbor freight and it broke after the first tire. I replaced the front brakes about 1.5 years ago. I bought the rotors from Advanced Auto and did not buy the cheap ones. I want to replace the rotors and pads but not sure which ones to go with. Many say use power stop but some of their reviews are not good. Should I get them from Ford as I don't want to do my brakes every year? Any advice is appreciated.

You can't go wrong with POWERSTOP, but frankly you can't go wrong with OEM or aftermarket from Autozone, O'Reilly's, etc. The key is in how you bed them in...it is critical to do it correctly or your will have what you have.

I would not buy from your local parts store unless you like to overpay. You will find MUCH better prices and a better selection on higher quality parts from Rock Auto. I usually replace calipers on every second brake job. I f yours are original, I would replace both sides, hardware, pads, rotors and flush the hydraulic system if you want to do it right.
