Steering shutter w/ braking

[brittsnbirds]

I have recently noticed when I apply my brakes on my 2500 HD my truck pulls to the left and steering wheel shutters.  The brakes should be good, don't have that many miles on them.  It happens when I hit the brakes quick.   If I gradually put them on it doesn't do it.

 

Any ideas??

More than likely your Caliper is sticking.

1. Either the caliper piston is sticking, or

2.  The caliper itself is NOT "floating" on its mounting pins in and out, or

3.  The brake pad "tabs" are too big and are catching on the stainless clips that hold them in place, and they are jammed in.

 Grinding the tabs when you do a brake job may be necessary as they are stamped, not cut and can be bigger than needed.

 Lube the mounting pins and make sure boots are good, and make CERTAIN the pads can move in those clips. I even put a tiny bit of never seize on the tabs after grinding them.

 Metallic brake pads wear the rotors much faster than a ceramic pad.

 Good Luck
