Subject:Pulsating Break Pedal
From:Shane Eddy

I recently purchased a 91 Carrat.  The Previous owner had the break
pads, and rotors replaced 100 miles before I bought it.  I noticed when
the breaks were applied there was a serious pulsating in the break
pedal.  The owner agreed and had the rotors resurfaced/retrued which
didn't help solve the problem much, but I loved the vanagon so no big
deal...  I've since taken the vanagon to a mechanic who said the right
front rotor was not true and he resurfaced it and put on OEM pads.  The
problem was definitely improved, but there is still a noticable
pulsating in the break pedal when the breaks are applied...  Anybody
have any ideas?
