Hey guys,
I went wheeling a couple months ago in big bear and on the way back down I noticed that if i hit the brakes lightly i would get a pulsing of brake with squeak. I assumed it was a warped rotor, pull the tire off and did a runout check and sure as shit I see warp.
A few weeks later, (this last weekend) I replace front brakes and rotors and bed the brakes. This morning going to work i get the same pulse and squeak. Not ABS pulse but a 2-3 sec push stop push stop feeling as if a rotor was warped.
So, im thinking its the wheel hub thats warped. Is that possible? I don't think it would be the drive shaft as it wouldn't really affect braking because the U-joint would alleviate most of that movement.
So, to be prepared, I mean if i'm ripping shit apart I want parts ready to go so the real questions:
What brand is the brand to buy for wheel hubs? I was thinking Timkin
IF i'm going this far already, Should i just go ahead and replace axle shafts? I was thinking RCV with FAD delete
What is the FAD for/do anyways? Does the "Delete" with RCV Shaft really help anything?
Thanks guys, as always I appreciate the input.
