Just got a 2000 Tacoma,...

Before this I drove a Porsche 944S so I am still trying to get use to this damn thing. Anyways,... I got it used with 35,000 miles on it. It's a 2.7L 4Cyl. 4x4 with manual transmission. Ok, now when braking the front ends vibrates and at some point it could pass for a shaking. It doesnt feel like it's shaking back and fourth, more like up and down?!?! Not sure, hard to tell. Also, I am just noticing a vibration in the sterring wheel, it doesn't do it all the time so it's hard to tell if there is a problem or if it's just the road. Are these normal problems associated with this truck? I saw a couple of brake threads so I am assuming the brake are kinda qwerky with this truck? I am thinking the rotors are warped? But, like I said it only has 36,000 miles on it as we speak. The tires are new but I they would have set in by now. All my tires are up to pressure.

Thumbs up

If the vibration only happens when braking your rotors are warped and if it happens when driving with out braking your tires are not balanced.
