Hi,

since some weeks, I have an issue with my brakes.

At first, the whole truck shakes while breaking. Also the steering wheel shaked a lot. So I guessed I had wrapped rotors in the front. I changed the front rotors. First after I changed these the shaking in the front was still there. But some days after it seems, the new rotors an pads broke in and the shaking in the front was gone. I also swaped the tieres from front to the rear.

But now, the truck still shakes from the rear. I dissasambled the rear brake and checked that everything is OK. But the shaking was still there.

Since then, the break pedal felt also a bit shimmy. Not mutch. If you dont know that there is an issue in the break system, you wouldn't recognize that.

When I pushed the pistons in the calibers back, I didnt bleed the hydraulic system. So I decided to change the whole break fluid. Now the break pedal feels OK again. Better then before. I think, this was the first change of the break fluid since 2005!

But my problem is still there. When I break a bit harder, the truck starts to shake from the rear.

So, the guy in the repair shop who changed the fluid said to me that the rear break breaks to hard. It breaks more than it should.

Could that be true? How is the bias regulated? Is this done by the ABS system or is there somewhere a valve? So here in germany we don't have so mutch repair shops that are fimilar to an F150 truck. Maybe he is wrong, mabe it is true.

I dont think (hope) the rear rotors are wrapped. Because they are just 3/4 years old ... and there is no shaking when I just push slightly the break pedal!

I'm getting a bit desperate with my truck I have just one authorised Ford USA dealer here in the area (germany!) and he did in the last 2 years reparis for more than 5.000 EUR !! That's too mutch to bring the truck again to him. He does a great job. No question. But it's always a pain to my wallet ...
