Question Odd brake issue... need help

Ok

So after I installed my lift and 35"s I noticed that when i go around a corner with the clutch engaged that if i break I feel a shuttering in the brake peddle and hear a noise.

It almost seems like the ABS is mis-engaging...


Ideas? I am totally clueless on this one.

Is your steering wheel straight?

i had the same problem. I did my alignment (I am an ase certified master tech) and use my aev pro-cal to center the steering wheel, but when I went down this one road and hit a bump while going through a turn, I had the same issue. I did my steering calibration again and have not had any problems since.

Hmm

So do you think I should take it back to the alignment shop I had it done at?

Well my question is, did you re-center your steering wheel electronically

I did not, but the alignment shop did. I recentered by look after the lift then went and had them do it by electronics.
