With just under 50K on the odometer I've had to have the front rotors replaced 3 times, and the rears turned down. After 10K to 15K miles I get a real bad pulsation of the brakes. When stopping from 40mph or faster the steering wheel will move an inch or so as the brakes pulse.
Is it possible to damage the rotors when I have the tires rotated and a torque wrench isn't used to snug the lug nuts down? I've had it to the dealer each time the pulsation happen. This week a tech rep from Ford came down and examined the vehicle. The pads have never been changed, and are hardly worn.
The Ford tech rep theorized that since these are very HD brakes, I may be causing the problem by not stressing the braking system enough with a load. Ford is thinking that since I don't pull or carry a heavy load, the HD pads will leave some sort of imprint on the rotors just by pressing against it. They think that if I regularly braked a heavy load that the imprint, which in affect is leaving surface imperfection on the rotor by merely applying pressure to rotor while the truck is parked overnight in the garage, would not be there. It seems like a pretty far fetched theory.
Anybody experience this kind of problem with their Ford truck product?
