    So I just bought a used 1999 Tacoma and i found that when I ease on the brakes maybe pulling into the drive way the truck starts to shake really violently in till I press the brakes all the way down or release them. The problem only occurs when i have the brakes parasitically pressed in. I have no idea how to fix this problem or how to go about addressing it. I also don't have tons of money so hopefully it will be a cheap fix!

    Have the rotors turned or replace them all together with new pads either way. Sounds like warped rotors.

    If you can pull them maybe 20 bucks a piece. Having a shop do them I really don't know. I wouldn't think more than a $100 if you just have them resurfaced.
