Bad vibration (dash) when apply brakes !!!!!

Ok here it goes....just when u think uve figured it out... Ok . I thought it was bad brakes so i did a total brake job....turned rotors and drums new pads and shoes... Not much change. I have just replaced all the ball joints and drivers wheel bearing with little to no change.... Im at a standstill and am getting aggravated! Anyone had ( has) this problem please help. 98 tacoma 4x4. and.... Truck also has new tie rods!

 

Any vibs in the steering wheel when you apply the brakes? What about the floorboard/drivers seat?

 

Yes the wheel does shake.... Feels like the front end is falling out from under truck.... Agravatting rattle/ shake.

 

I know you replaced the rotors, but my first impression is the rotors. They usually cause that shake during hard braking from a pretty good pace.
Have someone wiggle the steering wheel slightly back and forth, back and forth while your under the truck and look at all the steering linkages for anything wore out or loose.

 

I too think it could be your rotors. Sometimes just turning them isn't enough. I would suggest you consider new, OEM rotors and pads as the next step.

A vib in the steering wheel when brakes are applied indicates the source is the front brakes.

 

I ve already replaced the pass side rotor bc i thought that might be the culprit.... Im going to get another for the drivers side and ill post the outcome... Thanks guys.

 

New rotor for drivers side... Poof!! Problem solved... Thanks guys.

 

Congrats man!

 

Thanks again..

 

i just turned my rotors today, and the vibration is still there when i apply the brakes. Did you use replacement OEM rotors and pads? My 01 DC prerunner is stock other than the 265/75/16's.

 

oem or brembo blanks are good rotors to use.

OP, congrats on the fix. vibration while braking is almost always time for new rotors. sometimes, rotors warp and turning them won't solve the issue. good job.
