Brakes Pulsating when accelerating?	Sign In

Ok , so I drive a 1995 Saab 9000, and was recently in a small accident where i dented the front fender and had to replece the right axle. Before that though, all that was wrong was a small noise when braking. Now, a week after getting the car back from the shop, my car has begun pulsing when I'm in park or low rpm's in a gear (usually third). After i stop and get out, i can smell the brake's burning, but it doesn't pulsate unless my foot is on the gas pedal accelerating. I'm not sure what to do. Is it rotors? and how does that explain the pulsing with foot on gas pedal?

so you kinda lost me, at first i thought you had pulsing in your brakes. but your saying you only feeling when your accelerating. if you smell the brakes burning, carefully with the back of your hand feel which wheel is hot... and a word of caution if you have a sticking caliper that wheel will be HOT.

a sticking caliper i guess could cause the car to bog down, possibly the pulsing your feeling
