Better front rotors and pads?

Thanks. After almost 50 years of archery elk hunting in Colorado, I gave it up 2 years ago. Never thought I say that, but the crowding just got too much for this old hunter. I still deer hunt on my place, and probably will until I can't hike, or pull a bow back.

We live on the front range of Colorado, but have a condo in Winter Park. The route there includes Berthoud Pass, which is a long steep pass with multiple hairpin turns down each side. That's the pass the causes my breaks to judder every time. No amount of engine breaking prevents me from using the breaks, especially in the hairpin turns.

I'm really hoping you find that the TSB solves this annoying problem.

 

I am not looking forward to the day when I can’t bow hunt anymore! My dad turns 70 this month and still out hikes my buddy and I. Last year he couldn’t draw back on a 320” bull. Twice in one week.. Ended up needing his 4th shoulder surgery and 2nd bicep surgery this winter. This time they completely detached his bicep and reattached it lower. It still hurts to draw but he doesn’t care ha He passed up some cows at 20 yards last week waiting for a bull.

We hunt a nasty unit with practically zero other people around our area. Very odd considering you can barely draw the unit with a point or two these days. Lots of bears/cougars and now wolves. Dad had one follow him out at dark last year. Only reason he knew is he had to walk back in (forgot his bugle) and saw the wolf tracks over his own from a few minutes earlier.

I’ve stayed in winter park during a work trip and that is a steep one! Old boss had a condo up there. That pass is way worse than what I go over here in Oregon. That pass would have probably made me trade my truck in ha

 

Berthoud Pass is hard on brakes, but so are Monarch, Wolf Creek, Poncha Pass, quite a few others.

 

The west side of Rabbit Ears Pass, descending into Steamboat Springs, was where I first experienced the juddering.

I had just picked up my truck and was meeting a buddy in Steamboat to do some fly fishing. I was so disgusted when my truck started shaking like a wet dog, every time I got on the brakes, about half way down the pass. By the time I got into town, the brakes had cooled off and were smooth again.
