I just replaced the pads and the rotors and I have the same problem. I think It might be electronic. I noticed a small steel sprocket on the inside outside of the front axle right below the shock strut. My friend said that is part of the ABS brake system. That small sprocket is broken, it has a small 1/4 inch gap in it. Could that be the cause of the brake pulsation. The problem only occurs when I depress the brakes hard now
yea if ur abs sensor is bad then it will make ur brakes pulse u probably hav to repalce teh cv axle to replace teh sensor(or shud since its on axle and same price )
Try cleaning the sensors, it is magnetized and it collected break materials around the sensor. The sprocket you mentioned don't often go bad or break easily.
The ABS system operates by pulsing your brakes. Has the vehicle always pulsed like that? The harder you press on the pedal, the more it will pulse. That is normal operation. If you are not used to ABS it is a weird feeling but you get used to it after a while.
