I have a bounce in the rear of the truck when braking. I've replaced the parking brake pads (rear discs) a year ago when I bought the truck but the discs and regular pads haven't been changed by me.
I wonder if the rear discs are warped? I have new shocks so I'm not sure what else could be causing the bounce. I only notice it when braking. No issues in the front, though I've replaced the discs and pads.
I would say replace the rear disc rotors & the pads.

It usually isn't warped rotors, what it actually is tends to be uneven transfer of pad material to the rotor. They then give the pulsed feel, the vibration and bounce that is associated with warped rotors. But around here finding a place that will turn them is a problem. So I actually replace the fronts on my wifes Subaru just because of this. But I would be thinking rotors.
Thanks guys, my thoughts exactly. It was a Virginia truck, then in Canada before that. Luckily it had the tar-like underspray so theres not much rust. But the brakes are kind of rusty. Im sure that helps the out of balance feeling.
