Vibration when braking

I replaced the rotors and brakes, front and back, on my 2016 Tundra. I had a decent amount of vibration before I changed them, the one front rotor was bad, but I have even more now that that they are changed. Any suggestions on what may be causing them?

 

First thing I would do is take the rotors off and take a wire wheel to the hub mating surface (that the rotor sits on). You want to make sure that there is as little corrosion there as possible. If there is a bunch of corrosion it can and will cause the rotor not to seat on the hub properly.

 

More warped rotors. I've had ones go bad in as little as 1000 miles before.

Check your calipers too. A sticking piston or caliper slider can cause warped rotors and warped rotor symptoms.

 

I wire wheeled and anti-seized all around there (because I thoroughly followed this group before I did the brakes).

 

Hmmmm, how would I go about checking the calipers?

 

You take them off and check that the pistons move easily (with the hydraulic line disconnected, you will have to bleed that line afterwards) and that the slide bolts for the bracket are greased and the bracket slides smoothly (I think you have a bracket on the back brakes?)

It would be kind of odd on a new truck for them to go bad already but its the kind thing that causes your symptoms and is easy enough to check if your looking at replacing rotors again anyway. It's certainly something I've encountered often enough on older vehicles.

And although I have not had this problem personally, I have heard of brand new rotors being defective right from the box so that is even a possibility.

What kind of vibration is it? If you feel in the steering wheel, its front, if you feel it in your feet and the seat of your pants its usually rear.

 

My truck shutters pretty good under heavy braking as well!

I only have 15,000 miles on it - is this something I should gripe about when I take it in for my free service this week? Is this a warranty replacement option?

 

Have you ruled out tires and wheels? I have found the stock Bridgestone's tend to flat spot and ride poorly in cold weather (below 50). I started experiencing wheel vibration and brake shudder over the last few weeks (weather dipped down here) but this week it was back in the 80s and couldnt replicate it again (20k miles on stock 20" wheels and tires). I read the belt material in the tire tends to dictate if it will create the scenario. I had a similar problem with a past lexus sc, went through rotors/pads then continental and nitto tires before moving to Michelin which stopped the vibration issues I had. I think Toyota vehicles in general tend to be more sensitive to vibration and shudder due to the rubber compounds they use in bushings, etc... enough to drive one mad if you are ocd about ride quality.

 

It’s definitely coming from the front. I do not have that much mileage on them but reading alot of posts, it looks like there has been issues with the brakes for alot of people. I appreciate the help.

 

The dealer turned the rotors for free at around 17000 miles when I complained about it. It's worth a try.
