When i do light braking to the red light. My rear end starting shaking up and down. Is that warped in the rear brakes?

How do you know if your brakes are warped?

There will be a pulsing or heavy vibration when braking.

Ive never used a torque wrench on any vehicle I have every owned on the lugs. I drive my corvette around town about twice a week and play with it on the interstate every time and have had no problems punching the gas and slamming the brakes on that car, so much less the ram.

On the other hand, our Volvo does seem to jump when stopping. I thought it was something to do with that fwd crap. It is her daily driver so maybe thats the problem!
