    Hello everyone,

    I again am having braking issues. My steering wheel is shaking side to side and the truck vibrates when braking above 45 mph. Thing is it almost feels like if I modulate the braking I can control if it vibrates or not. I just had the alignment done with no help. Tires have 15k.
    Nothing looks broken on any suspension peices. (Stock)

    I am going to borrow a gopro and wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on where and how to mount it to see the problem.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Sounds like warped rotors.

    I hear you. This will be my 9th brake job in 60K!!!! I believe it is brakes but was hoping to get some sort of idea what keeps causing them to fail. I have been through this over and over with the dealer. Last fix they did something to the master cylinder, and said a hub was bent. That got me through 20k before it is happening again. This time though it really feels suspension related. There is no pulsation in the brake pedal.

    Over Torqued lug nuts? Try torquing them with a real torque wrench.
