Default pulsatingbrakes

if i put softer pads on my AU 3 wagon will it improve the pulsating coming thru the pedal?

Either machine the rotors or replace them.. Highly doubt if pads will make any difference at all. Good luck with your quest!

Maybe ABS cutting in too soon?

No. Yes. Maybe.

Seriously though, it's probably the rotors that are warped like Cobramad said.

Not sure why you would want to improve the pulsating, I guess you could use it to massage your feet under braking though?

As per cobramad, the rotors are warped and given it's an AU3, it's probably chewed the rotors out and requires new ones. Cheap as chips for the ole Falc and dead easy to replace yourself
