Just because its new........

I have had many a bad part, right out of the box.....

Does your ebrake work? If so, find a nice safe place to play, run the truck up to about 30-35, and then gently apply the parking brake to stop the truck. Does it shake? If so, you found your issue, if not, then it's gotta be something up front.

Who did the brakes? Did you pay a shop to do it?

Ebrake does work, it was done at home not by shop.... i will have my bf take a look at them . But i didnt think the back brakes could cause the front to shake...
