Truck & Wheel Shakes when applying Brakes
Truck & Wheel Shakes when applying Brakes. Brake pads are new, wheel bearings were regreased and checked about 3-4months ago. Rotors are new as well. Not sure why this started happening, but when I apply the brakes the wheel shakes like crazy and the whole truck also shakes until I come to a complete stop.
I'm thinking rotors or wheel bearings? Maybe they just need to be re-tightened? Never had them come loose before. Looking to bounce some ideas off you guys.
Thanks.

Pedal doesn't pulse, just feel the cab shake and my steering wheel shakes. Yea I greased them when I changed pads about 2 months ago give or take. It definitely feels like a warped rotor but they usually last longer then 6 months. That's why I'm confused. I want to think wheel bearing but I would feel that while I drive and driving is fine. Its just when braking and the faster I'm going the harder the shake once brake is pressed, like on a freeway.

I went on a drive about 30 min ago, took freeway and all. Before I left I stomped the ebrake down 3-4 times and released it. Seemed to help slightly, but I still feel a shake on initial brake press, right before I stop completely the shake seems to ease up.

Pulled the front wheels off today. Wheel bearings are nice and tight. Rotor could be warped I guess but I can't really tell by look. It's been about 7 months since I replaced them. So maybe its just about time. Wondering if I should re use my bears in the new rotors, or just get new bearings and rides? What do you think. I got timkens in there and I've always kept them nice and greased. I'm also thinking there might be issues with the rear brakes and the parking cable.
What do you guys think?
