Default Pulsating pedal after changing rotor?

Changed both rotors on my 93 hatch and I still have a pulsating pedal that goes with the speed of the wheel.

I've installed two new Autozone rotors with relatively new Autozone ceramic pads and the pedal still vibrates and makes a squeking noise at low speeds.


Any help would be appreciated

Maybe the old pads should be replaced.

Just some thoughts:

Maybe the old warped rotors damaged the current pads?

The squeaking brakes also could indicate incorrect re-installation of the old pads. The worst case scenario is that this has warped the new rotors.

What would you use to grease the pins that the calipers slide on?

Did you clean off the rust from behind the rotors with a wire brush.

New disks, always use new pads, regardless of how they look.

Dump the ceramic pads and get some sensible ones.

EBC GreenStuff work well for none maniac driving.
