this is my first post i have an 02 dodge dakota that i drive daily on bumpy back roads like dirtbiker said check the sway bar link there bad for breakin i broke my front driver side link end also make sure everything is greased good ball joints etc.

 

My friend upgraded his stuff to EBC. He spend around $300, and is in heaven. He said the pads were probably all he needed, but well worth it. When, if, I ever go through these, I'll probably order some up. a little steep, but then again, for me, I am only pushing 65K over 8 yrs. with a 5 speed. I think I'd still be on my originals if I'd looked before I bought the new pads.

 

Since I bought my truck I've put 40k miles on it and my pads are hardly even half gone. I don't know how many miles the previous owner put on them but they're going to last forever at this rate. Mine is also a 5 speed.
