    Had the original rear drums turned and new brake pads installed. When you get on the brakes the rear end bounces and shakes the truck. I had this issue already and that's why I changed everything out for new parts. Now it's even worse than before. The front has new rotors and pads and are fine. I'm at a loss of what the hell is going on. Anyone else had an issues like this?

    I used to have this same thing on my 96 silverado years ago. pretty sure we just replaced all the drum bits to new and it stopped. You arent having any ABS lights are you?

    No ABS lights. New drums and pads put on today. Still the same thing but worse. Nothing is leaking on either side.

    Are you getting any pedal feedback when this happens?

    With the old drums you could feel the pedal go up and down. With new shoes and drums not so much..I have a more solid feel to the pedal.

    Yes I adjusted them. Quality could come into question...Just strange after owning a few Tacoma's that this is happening. This truck has had a few odd problems with it from day one when it was bought new from dealership. Was my dads now it's mine.
