If the shaking only happens when applying brakes, one or both the fronts could be a bit too tight. It’s not supposed to happen with ABS, but still does, till worn in. I’ve had brand new steer tires do it, after putting them on, then it goes away. Don’t know what to think about it. There’s such a thing as Truing a tire. They spin it and shave it slightly, making it perfectly round. Not many places do it, but I’ve heard of others that swear by it. Aside from maybe the new tires being inflated higher than the old ones, that were masking the problem. I’m curious what the cause is. Be sure to update if you get it figured out.

That’s the manual disc slack adjuster made by Snap-on.

But seriously surprised it was still on there it looks like it had been awhile. -
I agree with you, but cant get rid of the vibration and squeaky noise upon breaking. I just got the new Meritor drums and will be installing tomorrow, going to leave the Meritor brake shoes which is brand new one it has only 3k on it. Let's see what kind of results I will get and will post on here. thank you again.
