vibration

so last year before inspection i replaced the front wheel bearings, rotors, and pads. Now i have a vibration in the truck when i brake. Rear pads and rotors look good, as far as rotors being warped i couldnt tell unless i take them off and such. Any ideas of what problems there may be?

I would check the rotors first by taking them off and run a dial across them. What do you have?

I am also thinking defective rotors, (cheap ones are worthless). Make sure you are tourquing the wheels to proper specs. That can and will warp rotors.

Just because they were replaced last year does not mean they are o.k., I am willing to bet it's your fronts. If you feel it more in the steering wheel than in your seat, that will comfirm it.
