Default 2002 Caravan AWD Brake Pedal Pulsing Please Help

I have a 2002 Caravan Awd I just got it from a friend and I noticed
the Pedal Pulses when stopping but it feels fine in terms of Firmness
My Mech suggested replacing the Abs Pump and so I had him replace
it but the problem still exists
Any info Would be Greatly Appreciated

Did your mech look at the front brake rotors? That's the typical cause.

More than likely warped rotors. Get new mechanic.

Now you have a question to answer. Did you explain the problem properly to your mechanic? If you think you did, you need to find another mechanic. I can only hope you're not telling us the whole story. Warped rotors is a basic first step when troubleshooting pulsing/vibrating brakes. An ABS pump is way down the list. Even then it's very easy to eliminate as a cause. If he didn't know that he needs to go back to school, if he ever went.
