1997 Dodge 2500, 4x4, V10, 120000 miles. When breaking at highway speeds truck shakes, feels like a wheel is hopping. Brakes have 10k on them, new tires, still does it. Jacked up truck and I cannot find play in the suspension. What could it be? Thx, Matt

Great chance of your brake rotors being warped. They can't handle the heat of braking at the higher speeds and consequenly warp on a temporary basis until the cool back down. Typical causes of front rotors not getting better life is not adjusting the rear brakes when doing the front. IF the front rotors were not replaced last brake job,it would just add further liklihood.
