Guys, I need your advice on a brake service issue. Took my just purchased 91 GL in for safety check to get plates in Ontario. Brakes worked perfectly on the way in. I was told rotors were below VW spec, so they were replaced, and I sprung for pads also. Rears were 'just in spec' so we left the rears alone, just serviced/lubricated them. Also changed fluid. When I got it back there was a pulse in the brake pedal, speed dependant. Garage position: The drums were out of round. And these contributed to the pulsing. Sticky caliper also. To fix, need to change drums and maybe calipers. My position: Brakes were perfect on way in, so something changed. The rears didn't cause a pulse before, so how can they now? Sticky caliper doesn't create that symptom does it? I am thinking the only source of the pulse is a warped rotor installed by the tech. What do you guys think? Thanks. Mark
