This TSB outlines the causes of brake vibration and pulsation, as well as the best corrective
measures to use.
CONTENTS
1) Symptoms of brake vibration and pulsation
2) Cause of vibration/pulsation problems
3) Advantages of using an on±car brake lathe
4) Rotor replacement and off±car brake lathe procedure
1) SYMPTOMS OF BRAKE VIBRATION AND PULSATION
Brake vibration problems generally involve one or both of two phenomena: body vibration and/
or pedal pulsation.
A. BRAKE VIBRATION
Applying brakes causes vibration to occur in the instrument panel, steering column, steering
wheel, and/or body of the vehicle (See Figure 1 below).

B. PEDAL PULSATION
Applying brakes causes the brake pedal to pulsate. This brake pulsation sometimes
causes the steering wheel to oscillate when the brakes are applied (See Figure 2 below).
2) CAUSE OF VIBRATION/PULSATION PROBLEMS
Brake rotor thickness variation causes brake vibration due to changes in the braking force as
thick/thin portions of the rotor pass the pads. Brake rotor thickness variation can be measured
with a micrometer as shown in Figure 3 below.
