240 brake pulsing

Post by arbop »

A while back, the brakes on my 92 240 began a moderate pulsing even under light pressure. Since the pads were worn, I installed new pads and rotors as well. Now, the pulsing is worse. There is a little noise from the center support bearing, none from the U-joints. Suggestions?

Rear brakes can cause pulsating brake pedal. Did you get the rotors seated on the hubs correctly?
