I've got a 97 Lariat. Two months ago I replaced the front pads after I noticed some squeaking. The driver rotor was slightly grooved but I couldn't afford the pair. A few days ago it seemed like all the sudden I was getting a bad bounce in my brake pedal and i assumed it was time to replace the rotors. Today I replaced the rotors and pads and noticed there was a stabalizer that was broken so I replaced it. My truck is still doing the exact same thing maybe worse. Both pistons in the caliper seem to be fine. I took the wheel and caliper back off after the test drive, compressed them and then hit the brakes, both pistons were sticking out the same. Losing my mind, please help

 

Its not an abs pulsating feeling in the brakes is it? It could be you might have messed up a sensor or something when replacing the brakes. Otherwise not sure. Maybe somebody else will chime in with an answer.

 

I don't know about the abs thing. I had an old car that I ran into the ground that had horrible brakes and it acts like that. No metal on metal of course but that same rough feel. It's like you can feel each time the wheel goes round as your slowing down and it gets worse the closer to stopping you get.

 

Yeah, sounds like warped rotors. Maybe you got a bad set from the parts store, did you buy the bargain brand?

 

yeah they're pretty cheap but I was looking for that when I took it back apart. When I spun it it looked good, I could eye it with a protective plate on the back and it looked true.
