i have a 94’ fzj80 and am having brake issues. i recently changed rear pads, and rear driver caliper/rotor. i’ve noticed that when coming to a stop once i hit about 15mph i get what feels like a grinding/pulse in the brake pedal. also when coming to a complete stop the brake pedal isnt constant anymore(like the brakes get way more aggressive). this only happens at very slow speeds coming to a complete stop. front pads and rotors have been done within 5k miles and the system has been bled. the feeling is almost like a very weak abs pulse but the abs hasnt worked since i got the truck (3+ years). any help is greatly appreciated!

ps. truck is on ome lift with 35’s
 
It’s your abs system trying to work. I had the same problem. Delete the abs and your brakes will work properly again. Does the abs light come on after it happens? Or is it on all the time? I could be wrong as to why it happens but I think it has to do with the larger than stock tires.

abs light is always on. i suppose that would be a good next step. thank you!
 
Check your wheel bearings for proper adjustment. Loose WB can cause ABS to activate.

If your ABS light us on, you have a problem within that system. Check and clean sensors and wires.

If you were in the rear axle, make sure you didn't whack the sensor and break it or break a wire.
