Hi guys. 95/sport/5-speed/no ABS.
My rear brakes have pulsed for a long time. It isn't felt in the pedal or wheel, but in the rate of deceleration. Once per revolution, your head gets thrown forward a little. It's only noticable at low speeds. When it's slick out, these spikes in brake force make the rears lock up very easy, so it's not only annoying but a safety problem.
I took it to a local shop and had new shoes put on and the drums turned. It was fixed for a few hundred miles, and then was back worse than ever. It was so bad that it eventually started pulsing while COASTING- no pedal application at all! It's done this THREE TIMES now. The shop just throws on new shoes, but I'm tired of wasting time here. I need to tell them what the root cause is. Any ideas? Please help!
