I have a 2002 Dakota 90K miles. Within the past 10K miles or so whenever I depress the break pedal (at high speed or low) the front end bounces and I can feel the pedal pulsing slightly. Seems like it catches then releases then catches and releases. It has gotten much worse. I have not changed anything on the truck since puchased at 70K miles. Please help.

Hi:
It sounds like you need to have the rotors and drums cut.

Let me know if it helps.
