Hmm, interesting. That's worth checking out. Fun new development, I noticed a puddle under the LR wheel area just now, just like before. Took a look under there, and it's SHOCK FLUID! So, either my brand new strut is somehow bad, or I did something wrong when installing it. What could I have...

Well, I finally got around to putting the shocks in today. Took it for a drive, and it still has the problem. I think there might be an improvement... It's just like the other test drives after replacing the brakes. it seems better or even fixed at first, but as things warm up, the problem comes...

Funny you should mention that. I haven't gotten the chance to test runout yet. I've been focusing on getting my Zephyr road-worthy, but I noticed that the Aviator has started leaking something by the RR wheel. Just took a look, and guess what? It's shock fluid! Shopping for new rear shocks now...

Yeah, I know you can't always trust new parts. I will definitely check those things. I do have a dial indicator. I was kind of hoping this was a common problem, and there was something I could go straight to and replace, haha. I haven't ruled out the tie rod ends either. Kind of makes sense...

No, it doesn't pull. And I've lubed the crap out of the pins and slides, haha.

Interesting, thanks. I'll have to check that out!

It acts just like the rotors are warped. Light pressure on the pedal produces the most vibration in both the brake pedal and steering wheel. As you increase pressure on the brake pedal, the vibration diminishes. Vehicle speed doesn't really affect it.

Hi all! I've been trying to track down a brake vibration my '04 Aviator has always had. I bought it last year with 95,000 miles on it, and really this is the only mark on its record. I love the truck otherwise. First thing I did was pull all 4 rotors and have them turned. No change. I had it...
