hey all. i got a 97 4x4 dak ext cab,my q's is i got the truck from my bro in law and the tires were pretty worn on it, when i come to a stop it shakes and feels like it has a bubble in the tire...ok now i went and got new tires all the way around (32x11.50) and it still shakes when coming to a stop it hasnt been aligned yet...and new rotors and pads were put on about 9 months ago(performance rotors) i was told that if the alignment is out the anti braking system tries to slow and stop one side if it pulls to left or right...anybody ever hear of this????..any input from other inthusiests would be appreciated...i havent taken it to a shop yet..id like to know excactly whatr is causing this so i dont have to replace everything on the front end...thast might just be expensive as hell....thnks for any input......mopar rules.....later.....rick

Are the back drums true? Could be out of round and may need to be cut
