the car kinda "pulses" when i break any more than a light touch. It jerks i guess would be a better term. Im thinking of the pads and plan on changing the fronts this week sometime but this is the first car ive had with antilock breaks and didnt know if that could be doing it too.

 

Warped rotors my friend.

our cars have antilock brakes?!

wow i did not know that. lol i really need to do some other mods other than looks.

 

some do some dont, it was an option, i love my non-antilock brakes.

and yah, your rotors are warped.

 

have 'em measured to find out the lateral runout. they could be machined depending on the amount of material. other than that, replace the rotors.... but, do pads at the same time. it makes no sense (to me at least) to replace rotors and put old pads back on.

and clean up the caliper slides and all the other moving parts..

 

Thats what i was afraid of sad.gif It was soooo much of a pain to replace my wheel bearings that i dont want to go near them again! Oh well.

 

You won't mess with the bearings by replacing your rotors. All you do is take off the rims, take off the caliper, and they should come off with a light smack on the backside with a rubber mallet.
