Default pulsing brakes
Can anyone tell me if the front rotors are slightly buckeled will this cause pulsating when braking?

either rotors are warped or you need a wheel alignment...

Default Start with this...
Turn on your flashers.

Accelerate to 45 MPH.

Mash the brakes until you decelerate down to 5 MPH.

Repeat 3 to 4 more times.

Turn off your flashers.

Let the brakes cool for an hour or so.

Repeat.

Better? The pulsation was a result of pad material transfer.

Problem persists? Try turning the rotors.

Good luck.

A bad control arm will cause this to happen also.

What is the difference in spacing between an A8 and a S8 when it comes to rims? Randy? Paul? Anyone?
