I have an E150 van. I have a handyman business. 2 years ago I had the front brakes changed, new rotors and pads. I now find that when I am stopping I am getting a pulsing in the brake pedal. What can cause this?

Hi
not many things cause pulsation.i would first check tie roda ball joints and steering rod . just to rule anything in the steering from causeing this.


if all of the steering parts are good.ROTORS.
yes i realize you just done this 2 yrs ago, but all rotors are not created equally. sorry i know that is not the answer you wanted. but the good thing is though ,instead of replaceing them you can get them turned and make the pulsateing stop.. thank billymac
