I feel a pulsation or vibration in my brake pedal every time I stop. But the brakes seem to work fine. Is anything wrong?

This is a response to the article written and posted on Yahoo with the above title.

Yes something is wrong but the Yahoo article does not help you at all and will only prolong your troubles.

This article in my opinion as a brake engineer of 35 years experience is completely wrong and misleading.

It skates around the issue using terminology that is simply wrong for brake such as “Warpage” (not even English) and misleads drivers. It talks about incorrect wheel nut torque as a cause for warping which is completely wrong, distortion maybe but the word warping is misused again here.

The truth about the issue of brake vibration and how to solve it without replacing your rotors is found here

The real facts lie in the above linked article and we suggest you read this and follow the recommendations because if you do what the Yahoo article says and rush out and spend $200 on new rotors, you are only delaying the inevitable and wasting funds
