Default somewhat odd

so on my way home after a 180 mile trip; under regular braking there is a pulsing-like feeling in the brake pedal. i did my brakes (rotors/pads) few months b4. never had a problem after doing my brakses. Feels like warped rotor??? but i highly doubt- never go through puddles and i dont thing it was a mfr defect- brand new. not returned for resale.

help on diagnosis. i dotn wanna start takin wheels and calipers off. too damn cold outside; ya know

not sure what the weather is like where you are from, so this is just a thought but is it possible there is some snow or ice build up that could be throwing off the balance?

my guess would be yours - warped rotors. But since you just replaced them that shouldn't be the case. [/align]

sounds like warped rotors to me .. i have heard that if you dont torque your wheels you can warp your rotors as well ?? just a thought .when you did your brakes did you get your rotors turned or did you replace them ?

is this whenever you use your brakes or just at certain times?
