Braking Nibble

Hey guys...i've seen people talking about the steering nibble and not sure if this should be happening or not. When i press the brakes to slow down the steering wheel really seems to shake. not sure if it is getting worse or if im just starting to notice it.

If you have an early 2004 truck you might have a bad rack and pinion. Trucks built prior to 8/20/2003 can get the rack and pinion replace under TSB 05-21-19.

There's also a TSB for warped rotors. I had mine replaced after 18,000 miles.
