Front End Shimmy

And the torque is listed in the owners manual. Since I started torquing my lug nuts to the proper torque for the vehicle, I have never had warped rotors. That was 15 years ago that I started.

You can try, but I doubt it. Also if the rear brakes are way out of adjustment it can cause the fronts to work harder, generating more heat which can also warp rotors. I find it a 35-50 mix between the two as the cause, also stuck calipers, froze slides etc.

I have a 04 F150SC and the same thing happened to mine. Take it to the dealer, there is a TSB on exactly that problem. I was in and out in half a day and it cost zero to me. Ford sprung for new calipers and rotors in front and I have had no problems since. There was a problem in the early build out. The new brakes are a little spongy now but stop just fine.

As already stated, you can try, but it is highly unlikely that they would do anything about it...

You need to replace the rotors, not resurface them. And heck, you admitted that was a year ago. My money's on you being a two footed driver also. Am I right?

He can try, but it is a TSB, not a recall. being a TSB, once out of warranty, you pay. Unless like in my case you have the extended warranty. However, I don't think that is the problem with his. The TSB is for vibration when the brakes are NOT applied. In my case the caliper was actually gripping the rotor a bit causing heat and vibration. rotor never warped, but did turn a bit blue from the heat.

Surely you must realize the problem is the brakes. The reason cars shimmy or vibrate at only 35 to 55 mph (practically any car) is that the natural harmonic frequency of the suspension is matched by tire rpm at that speed. Basically any ordinary car with a tire out of balance will vibrate around 45 mph. That doesn't mean, though, that a tire imbalance is the only thing that can put a driving force for vibration into the suspension. So in your case, it's the brakes, and the problem is slight enough that it needs suspension harmonics to help it out.

NO. Single footer.

Ford knows all about his, look in service bulletins. They replaced both calipers and rotors on mine. Some need rack and pinion replaced on the early models.

Dr. Phibes,

There is a TSB out for your truck to have the rotors replaced with a new style of rotor. At the time of rotor replacement they also have to replace the calipers due to the change in the rotor. I recommend you take this truck to your dealership and have them verify that the TSB for the updated rotors has been done.
