Default wicked vibration when braking

Hey guys i got one more question(s) for you
so i got this truck (06 ram 1500 regular cab short bed) about a month ago and they had to replace the front left wheel bearing so i dropped it off and when i did i wrote down to check the brakes or wheels because when i brake it vibrates wicked bad. It also fluctuates with the speed. I'm pissed because i told them to check this and they didnt because the problem is still there. Its been getting worse and i didnt think it was wheels because it dosnt happen when im cruising no matter how fast i'm going. I do have the 20's if that makes this easier for you guys to help me out with and it only happens when braking. rotors? I just dont have time to get my baby on a lift to check her out cuz i'm at school and working a full time job.
thanks guys

Sounds like rotors to me (and Chrysler is notorious for it). Do yourself a favor and DON'T buy Mopar ones from the dealer, they will fail again and for what the dealer wants for them, you can get a good set of slotted rotors...


Oh and to the OP, if you've noticed I've edited (merged, actually) a couple of your posts, I refer you to the following rule of the forum:

4. Double posting is not allowed and can result in the deletion of one or both posts. Double posting is defined as posting the same information in two or more separate forums. We understand that some topics might fit into more than one forum. Please try to pick the best one. In addition, please do not post in the same thread back to back (another version of double posting), if you have something more to add, edit your post, don't post twice in a row in a thread.
