Was it doing it before and did you tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern? Sounds like you need new rear rotors.

Does your steering when have any vibrations at all or is it all in the body?

It has drums, but i wouldnt believe the 70% for rears, maybe 70% for the fronts

Do you know if they machined (resurfaced) the drums too?

no i dont know what they exactly did besides replaced the rear pads,
yes most ford truck rear brakes do 70% of the braking but its true caus my rears wore out way faster than my front, there was 20% wear on my front and only 10% left on my rear, they were replaced at the same time.
