Thread: 2005 f150 shakes while breaking

I have a 2005 long bed f150 2wd. I am getting a shaking whenever I hit the breaks and it seems to be worse when going downhill. I changed the rotors and pads about 8 thousand ago. About one thousand miles ago I put on new rear shocks and just recently I put on new front shocks and coil springs along with all new front brake hardware, slide pins etc, also I put on a new caliper on the passenger front side and rebuilt the front driver side caliper. And none of the disks seem to be warped. Any help troubleshooting would be appreciated. The shaking is driving me insane because it feels like I'm rolling on clouds until I hit the breaks.

Welcome to the forum.
I'll tell ya. I had the same thing happin to my 96. Turns out. It was the brake pads and rotors. Wrong rotors and cheap Napa pads. I changed em to motorcraft and never had a prob after that

5Star tuned.....
