Run-out is something I've been look at for a year or so now.
Rotor warp as it's called, comes in different forms. We use ceramic pads (OEM). Which breaking in new OEM pads, is call "bedding in". Not or improper bedding in, may yield brake pull, squeal and or pulse.
Pulse felt in hands, is more of a front braking issue. Pulse felt in seat of the paints, is mostly associated with rear brakes.
Pulse is the pads unevenly garbing high and low spot on rotor. We can also have variation between outer and inner rotor surface. Where the run-out is different from side to side of a rotor.
Improper braking can also "warp" rotor. This can be from over-heating pads & rotor, creating hot spots. Hold brakes held on when very hot, it is believed leading cause of "warp". Does the metal actual change in flatness (warp) or just amount of deposit build up vary. IMHO either or both.
Why do some get pulse after doing a perfect job, dive perfect and all good at first. But then later get pulse (warp). A leading cause is rust! Parked vehicle and water get on rotor (wash, splash, rain, sprinkler, etc.). When we drive rotor are self drying, by rotation. Pads dry when braking. So after any event where rotor get wet, we need to drive to dry. Or the rust ends up cause high spot, even after driving. If rust old been growing say for a day. We'll likely not have issue. But say vehicle parked a week, we may get issues. The likely hood of rust build-up causing issue, increases with time.
