I don't know if you are saying you have the new hubs and rotors and still have pulsation, or if you are asking what causes pulsation. If you have pulsation on slowing this is due to warped rotors, and you need to change the rotors and the brake pads, not the hubs. Not too expensive: 2 rotors and brake pads for my Pontiac is about 55 bucks. DIY of course.

Pedal vibrations for new civic si?
If you feel a pulsation on your brake pedal this most likely is the sign of warped rotors this happens when the brakes get to hot(the rotors will have a buish glassy look in certain spots). I suggest you bring it in to a mechanic to verify the problem. In most cases you can cut the rotors and the issue will be gone.
What would cause brand new brake rotors to warp repetidly on a 1996 Buick Le Sabre?
Break rotors heat up very fast while drive and stopping, todays technology in my sense isn't the best on rotors. If you have a heavy foot and brake hard, that will contribute to warped rotors. Sudden stops will also case warping. Most brake Specialist (Les Shwab) recommend on new cars, and new rotors to brake easy, (light foot) on your new rotors for the first 1,000 miles of the rotors life. That way they have time to brake in.
Why would the brake pedal shake?
Sounds like brake pulsation. Probably from the front brake rotors. Don't cut them, chuck them and get new ones, replace the beat up pads at the same time and adjust the rears-if drum brakes in back. Brake pads/rotors are usually to blame for vibration during heavey or normal braking I agree,new pads, rotors, all the way around will help. But if they are bad, you might want to have the rubber lines checked for cracks to ensure future safety. A pulsating brake pedal which is known in the automotive world as spongy brakes is caused by worn or warped rotors/drums and/or shoes/pads. To correct this problem visually inspect the parts.If the rotors are not perfectly smooth then replace them.

How do you know when the front rotor on a 1995 Honda Accord is bad?
A bad brake rotor in the front or rear can cause a pulsation in the brake pedal when pressure is applied on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in motion. The brake rotor can be measured with a micrometer to be sure it is within specs and has enough material to be legally resurfaced on a brake lathe. In most cases now rotors are simply replaced with new ones to be cost effective.
