SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
AT ABOUT EVERY 7000 MILE INCREMENTS MY BRAKES BEGIN TO EXHIBIT "BRAKE SHUDDER" A VIBRATION THAT OCCURS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. NOT UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLITEN AND SHOW MY FORD DEALER WAS I ABLE TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. FOLLOWNG IS THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: SOME 1999-2000 SUPER DUTY F-SERIES AND 2000 EXCURSIONS MAY EXHIBIT BRAKE VIBRATION OR SHUDDER WHILE BRAKING. ENGINEERING HAS RELEASED A NEW BRAKE PAD (P/N F81Z-2001-EA), WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH A "V-SPRING." THE V-SPRING KEEPS THE BRAKE PAD OFF THE ROTOR, WHICH INCREASES BRAKE PAD LIFE AND DECREASES BRAKE SHUDDER AND NOISE. WHEN REPLACING THESE BRAKE PAD USE THE PRO-CUT BRAKE LATHE TO MACHINE THE ROTORS ON THE VEHICLE TO A LATERAL RUN-OUT OF .001" OR LESS. BESIDES THE SHUDDER THE THING THAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS THE VEHICLE STARTS TO PULL TO LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. THANK YOU FOR YOU CONSIDERATION ON THIS ISSUE.L. *AK
