Truck shakes when letting off brake
Was in stop and go traffic today and I noticed that my truck shakes a little bit when I let off the brake. Not sure what could be causing that, already replaced brake pads and front hubs. Could it be sticky calipers or a warped rotor? Please let me know, thanks!

Seems like ball joints or tie rod ends. Could be trac bar.
Jack up our truck (pick a front side) and when the wheel and tire is off the ground. Wrestle with it a bit and see if there is play. Easiest is to use one arm to push the top part of the wheel/tire and the other arm to pull the bottom. If there is play, then it is ball joints. Also do the same side to side.

Hmm... warped rotors would shake when you were slowing down..... what exactly do you mean by "shake"? Is it a slight vibration, or a noticeable "jump" kind of shake? Does your steering wheel shake in tune with the motion? Truck pull to one side when you let off the brakes? Can you determine if it originates from the front or rear of the truck?
Sorry for the all of the questions, just trying to narrow down some possibilities.

Check your rubber brake lines going to calipers. If the inside has worn whn you push brake it will be fine, but when you let off brake the rubber will become a flap and come up when releasing brake. This will act as a check valve not allowing the brake flluid to go back into master cyilnder and what not.
