Got my truck Feb.14,2000 and in 2001 I had to start replacing front driver side brakes. I did this approximately 2 times a year. It always seemed to be the ones on drivers front wore out others where fine. On Oct.12,2004 a rainy night going home the truck started to shimmy when I used brakes. When I was going to turn right the brakes locked up on front and threw truck into embankment now wife messed up her neck due to impact. I did not file report cause no one else was at fault. The problem became more frequent. I continued replacing pads until recently. On July 28,2008 I changed everything except brake boost and master cylinder. The shimmying is back after 3 months. The vehicle pulls when I use the brakes and will throw you into other lane or off the road. I have had several close calls with other vehicles on the road through the years as I tried to repair the trouble. I have not received any recalls on this problem, but am tired of replacing pads. I have not fixed body damage from 2004 till I get this problem fixed. I have had others tell me of similar problems with their Dodge trucks. What can be done to fix this?
