2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission brake vibration when fully stopped

[jrollins]

Sometimes (been getting more noticeable) when i am at a full stop with the brakes engaged i feel a vibration in the petal. It almost feels like its in tune with the revolutions of the engine. its not a strong vibration but i can slightly feel it in the petal. all components of the braking system look great, did a front brake job at around 80000 miles and at 120000 miles now. i also turned the rotors when i did the brake job so i am pretty much ruling that out. any ideas out there??

Hows your power steering fluid look?

Can you feel anything in the steering?

Almost sounds like aerated fuild in the hydro-boost.

been a little bit since i looked at it, but a few weeks ago it looked good, since you brought the steering point up i think i have also noticed that the steering seems to loose its assist (harder to turn) at low speeds. not really a pronounced loss but it feels slightly tighter. BTW dealer replaced vacuum pump at like 60k? (said it was leaking, but i took it in for a oil pan leak that never got fixed) and the steering gear box at about 100k ( hit a piece of concrete at about 30 mph with front drivers wheel, stealer said it jumped the teeth in the box???) . i personally don't believe anything was wrong with either component though. .

jrollins,



If you read your owner's manual, you will see a section on your ABS. It clearly states that while at a stop with your brake pedal depressed, the ABS will pulsate. IOW, it's completely normal.
