brake pedal still pulsating after rotor and brake pad change
#16
I checked the abs sensor.
Python, right after I changed the components the shaking started and it has never stopped.This has happened 3 times and this morning I found out that my abs sensor is plugged and I think what is not plugged is the brake low pad sensor which is hanging and I am not sure where it goes.I just can't wait for my uncle to call and have him look at it.

more update and confusion
I just changed my spindle again on the driversw side since it felt like the vibration was coming from that side.I am still having the same symtoms.Has anyone ever had problems with their abs sensor that goes on the wheel hub?What are the symptoms?My last hope is to change those sensors on the wheel hub.I also did plug the low pad sensor.

I would check your rear rotors though - turning them is cheap and when they are bad they can definitely cause vibration, etc.

I would recommend resurfacing all 4 rotors, and torque down the wheels to 80ft lbs. Anything you feel in the pedal, has something to do with the brakes. Pulsating in the pedal would be a warped rotor either front or rear. Do you feel the brake pedal pulsating, or do you feel a vibration in the pedal area when you step on the brake. That's 2 totally differnt problems.

i disagree with resurfacing. it only shortens the life of the rotor and it will pulsate again as steveski had happen.
do you have new pad?
have you bed your brakes? http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm

there's nothing wrong with turning rotors to remove glazed on pad material.
and if you have a "warped" rotor the only way to fix it is to turn it. or aggressively bed in a set of extreme u race pads (which is done sometimes on race cars using full floating 2pc rotors which don't turn very well.

O'reilly wanted $28 a piece.Got those rotors and changed them.It was such a breeze compared to changing the spindle.
Thank you guys!After 6 months of toying with this thing I never knew bad rear rotors could cause pulsatiion on the pedal and vibration on the whole car.

I called autozone,o' reilly,advanced and napa for the rear rotors.
