Normally, the steering wheel will shimmy and the pedal will pulse with front
rotors being warped. If they are only slightly warped, it can just pulse
the pedal. When the rear disc/drums are warped, the pedal will only pulse.

Hi Bernd,
Didn't check, but I have NO shimmy in the steering wheel when braking. I
thought the rule of thumb was if the steering wheel "shimmys" it's the front
brakes and if the brade pedal pulses, it's the rear brakes, of course I
could be all wrong on this. I will check the fronts.
Thanks,
Joe B.
