I will need to drop off my truck off the night before if that’s OK. I know the brakes sound funny and need help. It may also need an alignment, but I don’t know if you do that there.
FOUND: THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED CAUSING A PULSATION AND A PULL TO THE RIGHT. AT THIS TIME WE RECOMMEND TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES WITH NEW ROTORS AND RECHECK THE SYSTEM OPERATION.
Inspect and make required adjustments to set "toe", "caster", and "camber" to factory specifications on the front and rear suspension (where applicable). Alignment warranty requires tire rotations and checking tire pressure in accordance with manufacturer's specifications.
