I have a 2007 Peterbilt and no matter how lightly I touch the brakes the steer tires (I can't tell if its both or just one) lock up on the front of the truck!
This does not happen all the time....maybe 60% or so. The rest of the time they work normally. I have called several shops and they all tell me to adjust my brakes. When I do they seem to work for a bit then its back to trying to keep from smashing my nose into the windshield!!
Any ideas and suggestions will be greatly appreciated...especially by my nose......

Advice? Wear your seat belt...it'll keep your nose from hitting the windshield.

How much is left on your shoes. . Not sure but thin brakes could be causing cam rollover. Change your shoes.

If it's just one side it should pull hard to that side when braking. Other than that I got nothing that hasn't been mentioned

Check the brakes on the drives, and see if there is any contamination on the steers...

I had loose wheel bearings do that to me.

If your brakes are locking up. How long do they stay engaged. If severe you will have flat spots on your tire.
