when coming o to a stop my truck shakes. it happens mostley if im slowing down from higher speeds, like getting of at an exit. would it be that i need to look at the brakes.

 

If it's the front end that is doin' the shaking, it could be the brakes. I would look at the front end components though. Check the ball joints, tie rod ends, pitman arm, etc. for looseness. Maybe even the front shocks too.

 

i was told by a guy that helped me with work on my truck that i should get new shocks in the near future, so ill have to get on that and see if it helps

 

Yeah, mine have needed to be replaced for over two years. The front suspension is all spring. I haven't been able to get the bottom bolts off and am scared sh*tless of breaking them off in the control arm. Whenever I think of replacing them it's because I need the truck on the road so, it never gets done because of the bolts.

 

When it shakes is it only when the brakes are on? If you let go of the brakes does it still shake? If so most likely your rotors are warped and need machining or replacement.

 

i have had the same problem for years and dont know how to fix it. It kind of somes in rotations (comes, goes,comes goes and its continous) if im on the freeway it starts at about 120km then get rougher and faster as i speed up. Then when i stop accelerating it dies down with the speed.
Is yours the same?? Any help would be appreciated.

Put new shocks and bushes. Had all wheels swapped to others and all been ballanced and alligned!!

Im cant work it out

 

when the brkes are off its fine, just when coming to a stop

 

Its probably the rotors. Mine has done that before and that is what it was.
