The 'grease' could just be brake dust, which is considered normal. But, with brakes being rather important, better to be safe than sorry. As for the 'pulsation'; Do you feel a 'shimmey' in the steering when applying the brakes? Or, does it feel like an 'egg shaped' affect? If a shimmey, it's likely that the front rotors are warped, which occurs from heat. If not, it's more than likely a rear rotor or drum that is warped or out of round. Regardless, either can be trued with a brake lathe. If the brake pads or linings are questionable in longevity, might as well replace them at the same time. But, no matter what, get the brakes inspected right away. Loren SW Washington Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 2, 2009, 3:50 AM Post #3 of 3 (1659 views) Re: BRAKES Sign In A couple points to add here. As Loren pointed out, distortion in brake rotors is generally caused by excessive heat and rapid cooling. 2 Things contribute to this, the thickness of the rotor meaning once it is resurfaced, it becomes even more susceptible to this problem. The other contributing factor is the driver's braking habits. Some drivers are more aggressive with their braking than others and in turn tend to have these distortion problems more than others. Past experience has shown me that if you have a vehicle and driver that has already experienced this problem once, that if you simply resurface the rotors, the problem will return even faster therefore I always replace the rotors on a vehicle that has experienced pulsation and distortion once already. It's a good idea to make sure the rear brakes are adjusted and working properly also. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
