my truck is a 97 lariat had a few questions for you guys
my brakes grab low. it has play then grabs hard when is a few inches from the bottom. when i press it when it has play it grabs a little.has no problem stoping but its not like my dads truck grabs right when u tap the brake.any solutions? we bleed it and checked it pads are thick. it also wobbles when u brake coming down a hill. thanks in advance.

 

btw if i were to replace them what front pads and rotor do u reccomend to run? and pads and drum for the rear.i want low dust good braking and no vibrations. here we have orilley, napa auto and carquest auto stores

 

Try tightening up the rear linnings if they are drum brakes. ajust them till you just hear them slightly drag To kind of tell that the rear is out of ajustment step on the Park brake if it goes to the floor and does not hold , their problely out of ajustment. Also its sounds like your front rotors are worped this is probley due to the rear brakes being out of ajustment and the front brakes are doing all the work. As fare as brake pads (Performance friction carbin metallic) are the best as fare as I'm concerned and Bendixs rotors. find them on line or at a fleet pride.

 

ah i will try that

 

I believe the Lariats had 4 wheel disk brakes. Adjusting the parking brakes will not help. Seems like you may have a leaking master cylinder.

 

weird my truck has drums in da back and disk in the front i will check da master cylinder tomarrow.thanks

 

Not sure what to recommend on rotors, but I think any high quality ceramic brake pad would work. Ceramic pads tend to have lower brake dust. I just installed a set of Wagner ThermoQuiet Ceramic Pads on my 03 SCrew and I couldn't be happier with their performance. Just my .02 cents.
