Here's another brake question.

My brakes work okay, but I get feedback through the pedal at slow speeds where the pedal moves up and down a little, in what seems the same speed as the tires are rotating. It feels like something is worn unevenly. I'm not even sure if you can get this kind of feed back through the brake system from the wheels.

Anyone have a clue what this could be? :confused
 
It's called 'judder'. Pulsation at speed indicates warped rotor surface, and can be corrected by machining if tolerance allows or replacement of the offending component.
 
I agree. The rotors are probably warped. Check the lug nut torque first. If they are not torqued evenly, that can cause the rotors to be warped.
