new dakota shakes when braking

Kevin Cooper 15 April 2005 09:45:09
 Hey everyone, been a while since I posted here but I need some help. I just
bought traded my 98 dakota for an '05 4x4 quad cab and everything was great
with it until about a week ago I noticed that at high speeds (60+) when I
brake whether hard or gradually, The entire truck (not just the steering
wheel) vibrates. I had asked a friend about and he said it might be warped
rotors, But i wasn't so sure cause it only has about 2500 miles. Any advice
is appreciated as always.

 Warped back rotors is the problem for sure, if only shakes during braking.
If it shakes during braking it is warped brakes, steering wheel if front
rest of truck if back.

 Could be tires as well. Check for balancing and out of round.

 I have drums on the back, could the rear pads have chips or gouges in them?
causing the vibration.

Could be out of round drums...could be out of true rotors...
Its covered under warranty....allow them to fix it.

The minute you say "...brake problem...." somebody
is going to shout "Warped Rotors". That's been a real
problem with dakotas for years. At least, that's what
people claim. However, nobody has actually placed a
dial indicator on the rotors to find out.
People take their trucks back to the dealer
claiming the rotors are warped. The dealer either
doesn't want to mess with it, or just wants to shut the
guy up. So they replace the rotors without checking.
Then the same guy comes back in 10K miles screaming
about his "warped rotors" again. And the cycle
continues.

First, read this:
http://www.stoptech­.com/whitepapers/war­ped_rotors_myth.htm

Second, use a dial indicator and actually check
your rotors. Mine have almost 70K miles and they are
still well within specs.

Finally, check for the many other things that can
cause this symptom: Tie rod ends, steering rack, broken
rear spring, etc.

I'd have to partly disagree with you, Scott. And
so does Baer Brakes and Wilwood brakes. Slots and
cross drillling is simply for looks, and has no
functional value. And, you can't cut a rotor like
that. When you get a little wear you have to pitch it
and buy a new one. Cross drilled rotors do not last
nearly as long as a solid. Mostly because they develop
stress cracks around the holes.
Rotors with holes and slots will give you worse
braking performance than a simple solid surface. The
brakes work by converting rotational energy into heat,
by way of friction. The greater the surface area, the
greater the friction. Make the surface area smaller,
and you lose effectiveness.
As for pads, I think you're right on. While I was
researching pads, one of the manufacturers (can't
remember which one) recommended not using ceramics for
towing.

 Turning rotors is a waste of money. If they are that bad then they should be
replaced.

Correct.
Even when they are trued, they will warp again, and follow the same pattern
as before.
