I have a '97 K1500 350. When I first take the truck anywhere and I step on the brake I get a thump that you can sort of feel in the peddle. It's just one thump and then the brakes seem to still be working ok. I thought initially that some ice or something had just built up on the brakes but it is doing it every day now. First thing, it's a fairly noticeable thump. After you've driven even say a mile or so, it still thumps but not as loud and again only when you initially step on the brake.

Could this be a warped rotor or something wrong with the pad?
when you take wheels off and look at front brakes take a good look at ball joints.......possible control arm bushings as well......
