I have a 2001 Toyota Tacoma. When braking at slow speeds, the truck slightly jerks back & forth. Replaced the front brake pads 2 & 1/2 years ago. What could be the issue with the jerking?

does it feel like brake pulsation? brake pedal pulsates up and down while steering wheel strobes left to right. iif so needs at least rotors. you can sesurface them but it will come back. let us know.

Yes, I can feel it pulsate in the brake pedal. Very minimal to no steering wheel vibration though. I've never had the rotors resurfaced. They're still original. If it'll come back after resurfacing the rotors, what do you suggest I do then? NEW rotors?

yes, and i'd get toyota rotors. but if you cann't $ them, then l'd resurface them and cross my fingers, may get lucky. also make sure the moving parts in the calipers get cleaned and greased, not the piston of corse. let me know how you make out.mws919

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm gonna try resurfacing them 1st...since they've never been done & see how that goes. If they just look too worn down to resurface, then I'll get new ones. Thanks again & I'll let you know how it goes.
