I dont know alot about vehicles. Just bought a 2004, F-150, 4X4 Supercrew Lariat, 5.4 V-8.

Was hearing brake grinding noise so I replaced the caliper it was bad and brakes. But noise got worse. Rotors looked fine in thickness. But now my son said wheel was moving back and forth.

I took tire off and peice in middle of rotor has so much metal breaking off it.

I see 2 different types rotors online , ones with the whole middle and lug bolts and 1 with just rotor.

What is wrong with this wheel? Did the rotor break apart from center and I need new rotor or do I need assembly that has the lug bolts , or the rotor that has the lug bolts as 1 piece?

So what does this mean. I changed the oil in the dif and it has tiny specks like glitter

Truck is 2004 for f150 lariat 4x4 automatic worth 5.4 lifted. With 155k

Is this just normal wear or something I should be concerned about

On my sons 2004 ford f150 lariat we bought it jacked up. The running boards look like crap tucked under frame on a stock truck. Is there any kind of extension brackets that go on the studs under truck and connect to the running boards? Or do we have to buy aftermarket.Running boards for a lifted truck?
