I am about at my wits' end with the pulsating brakes on my ZJ. Just this week, I have replaced the front rotors with brand new Wagners from O'Reilly ($40 each), brand new Morse pads from Autozone ($40 ceramics) and new hardware and boots ($27) from NAPA.
The net result...NOTHING! I still get terrible pulsations when coming to a gentle stop.
My calipers seem to be fine. No leaks, and I don't think they're sticking (how do you test for that?). Is it possible it's the back brakes? Could it be the brake lines? Would bleeding be any help (the pedal is fine, not soft at all, but the fluid has never been bled)?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
