I bought a 2000 Avenger about a week ago. It has 35,000 mles on it. It has such low miles becouse it sat at a dealer for almost 4 years. I purchased it thinkng it only needed brake rotors and new tires.

The problem is when I brake at slow speeds, under 20mph, i get a pulsating/thumping through the pedal. It also seems to increase in frequency when I brake while making a relatively tight turn (think jughandle). I put new rotors and pads on. Calipers were fine. New tires (they were balanced) and the prolem persists. I bleed the brakes, and still no change. I have no idea what could be wrong with it. Im about to take it to a dealer (but I dont want to becoue it wil cost a fortune.

Other then the brake problem the car is extreamly clean and unblwmished, Its not likely that this is a result of an accedent.

Any ideas what it could be?

Possibly the result of the ball joint recall?
Thanks
