When i step on my brakes it pulsates on the pedal and wont stop unless i press the brakes real hard. Now this is not the pulsating like when the rotor is warped, its a total different feeling. It does this when i slow down to about 8 mph. I changed the front pads last night but that didnt changed anything, so im going to change the rear pads because its low also. Also should i bleed the brake systems. If that doesn't work can you give any suggestions. Somebody told me it might be the abs systems but i dont no to much about that. Can you me some specifics please, Thank You.
