    Hey folks
    I just replaced my master cyclinder and now I have a vibration sometimes when braking . Its not all the time though. Its not pulling to one side so do Y'all think maybe sticking wheel cyclinder on the rear or any other things to check. I have plenty of pedal . Maybe I need to loosen brakes up a little on the rear. Ideas ????
    Thanks Tim

    Might have a drum out of round. The old mastercylinder may not have been putting out enough pressure to operate the brakes fully. Usually you can feel an out of round drum in the pedal. It will pulse with the vibration.

    i agree

    I agree w/ mavaholic. drive slowly @ about 15 mph and slowly apply e-brake(holding handle w/left hand to keep the lock off) and see if it shakes. if it does, drums bad. if not, probobly in rotors/ ft brakes.
