Default 2001 Ram 2500 5.9 diesel 4x4 brake problem

Have a very violent forward trust/lung when barking that you can feel in the break pedal but not the steering wheel. Had the front rotors turned cheated did not replace front pads. Right rear rotor and outer seal , emergency pads, brake pads were replace and the left rotor and brake pads replaced but still have the very violent forward trust/lung when barking. can feel it breaking forward or reverse slow of fast. Me and my mechanic are both stumped at this point any help would be great thanks.

If you turned the rotors, then I would look at your wheel bearings (hub assembly's.) maybe even a wore out Pitman arm or other front end parts, could even be a ball joint...But I would think a mechanic would know to check those items...If you have to tell your mechanic what to check....its time for a new mechanic my friend Let us know what it ends up being...
