What should you do next to stop brakes from pulsating after you replaced the front rotors and pads?

may sound silly, but check that the discs are not in at and angle. also make sure there was copper grease on the rear of the pads. when you changed the pads and put the new ones in did you loosen the master cylinder cap. some calipers push air in the system when pads are replaced, due to the pistons being pushed back further, due to thicker pads being put in place of old ones. hope this helps

The neighbors I am working on does have an ABS light that is on. So I am assuming yes. But double-check your model. Reason I am working on his is due to the pulsating grabbing the brake pads have on the rotors when applying the brakes. Also another reason the ABS light may be on is due to the warped rotors are fowling what the ABS should be doing.

The most common cause of this problem is warped brake rotors. Get it replaced soon. Whenever you replace rotors, you should replace the pads. The old pads will have conformed to the shape of the rotors, so braking efficiency and life will be down if you use them with the new rotors.
