01 Chevy Blazer, LS model, 4x4, 4.3L. 128K miles - I replaced front and rear pads, applied a tork to wheel lug nuts and caliper bolts, road test was fine, then about first 50 miles went great and no issues. So today drove home after work and brakes are like grabbing/irregular feel is produced on when brakes applied over 30 mph. It fine braking applied, read normal under that speed. Help me know how to best resolve this issue. Could it be relieved over time or is there some way forward that I can try? Appreciate your time.Crazy

Did you replace or resurface the rotors? Does it have a brake pull and/or brake pulsation? Was it doing this before you performed your brake service?

Didn't do resurfacing, because I test drove it before replacing rear pads. I would guess these are presenting the problem. Didn't feel the pedal pulsation, but maybe there not to far out on wack, aka turning. Hope there good candidates at least. Try a machine shop run in next few days and let you know any finds. Thank you.

You haven't answered DS's question. Are you experiencing a pulsation or a pulling?

Now the pads you did are no good for the most part and can wreck the resurfaced rotors. All at once or play Ping Pong forever,
