Can You Help Diagnose My Pulsing Brakes?
Car is an 00 with 62k on it. I bought it used.
When I step on the brakes they kind of pulse. Sometimes when I stop at low speed the car pulls to the right. The pads seem to have plenty of meat. Any information would be apreciated. Thanks.

I have had the same problem after track days. Have the rotors checked and turned if they are still within service limits and get new brake pads. The rotors are suprisingly inexpensive if the old ones are not servicable. Good luck.

Chances are that your rotors are not warped. You might have brake material unevenly deposited on the surface, causing them to pulsate and "grab". It can be caused by not breaking in the pads properly, or stopping hard and holding the break pedal down hard while the car is stopped and the rotors are real hot.

To get rid of the problem, you will have to get the rotors turned.

You may also want to take a look at your calipers as well. Chances are that if your car is pulling to one side when braking, one caliper may be sticking and not working properly. If this is the case, it may overheat that side and warp the rotor.
