#1 new rotors need new pads , not always new pads need new rotors , have allignment checked , balance the tires and check pressure and make sure the wheel lugs are torqued properly .

thanks for the ideas but im shure its not the alligment...it has something to do with the brakes it only dones it wheel braking...im preety shure its the pads...vut if its not the pads i wonder what it can be...

If they are new rotors have them turned on the axel if you think that is part of the problem , and put new stock pads on, there is a shim kit that you will need when the new pads go on irontoad.com will have them with the best price around . keep us posted ;)
