I guess it could be the rear rotors ???
I got my '92 the other day and it has been well maintained but does have a few issues. I felt the brakes pulsing (like a warped rotor) when braking and also heard the rear right indicator squealing.
I pulled the rear brakes and sure enough the indicator was barely hitting the disc. Rear pads replaced without checking the rotors.
On to the front. Pads were only 1/2 gone. I set up a dial indicator and the front right was 6 thousanths off. I had the front rotors turned and installed new pads. Test drive and it's better but I still feel a pulsing.
Could it be the rear rotors? I've never had to turn or replace rear ones before. Is it common or likely they are warped too?
