Might look at the brake drum also. I have a slighly warped one (in being
turned right now) that causes a pulsation just like you describe. The shoes
would contact slightly at just that one spot on the drum. Couldn't feel it
in the pedal at all. Pulling on the handbrake slightly, you could feel it.
Pull a little harder and the shoes would contact all the way around and the
pulsing stopped or at least lessened somewhat.
I'll update on the outcome with the drums freshly turned when I get them
back on the car.
