Quick question...I recently purchased a '10 Denali AWD and I get a slight pulse to the car, not the pedal, when braking at low speeds. I thought this was from warped rotors so I replaced the fronts. The pulsing is better but still noticeable at lower speeds. My question is this; could it be that the rear rotors may also be warped or is this a function of the AWD system? Thanks!

It has nothing to do with the AWD.
I didn't think so but I thought changing the rotors would have helped. I guess the next step would be to replace the rear rotors as well unless anybody else has any other thoughts.
Rear rotors are worth a try. It's really hard to diagnose a problem like that without feeling it. But it's obviously a brake issue and if the front rotors had an impact then the rear ones are the next logical step.
Most people forget to do this or just don't do it because it's a hassle but it's important especially if you're trying to correct a brake problem.
There's an industrial area not too far from me that had plenty of room to bed the brakes in. I did that right away!

I'll bet its the rear rotors,...I just replaced mine.
One way to tell if its the fronts or the rears; If its the front youll get a nose diving sensation on the pulses,..if its the rear you wont,...thats how I knew it was the rears on mine.

Thanks for coming back and clearing it up.
