      I wish I was =/, you can definitively test if it's the rear brakes by applying the parking brake for slowing down, make sure you have your hand pulling on the release or have a functioning auto release function though, so they don't get stuck on or lock up. If it vibrates when you do that it's the drums, that will isolate them from the front. But if you're not getting any shimmy or vibration in the steering wheel...probably the rears.

      Mine were so bad that even though the replacements weren't perfect, i just accepted it as is, eventually i'm putting on discs though.

        See i have bled the rears till I saw no bubbles, but I guess maybe there is more air in them. I dunno?? I will def test out the drums with the e-brake trick

          OK,

          This past weekend, I replaced the front calipers, greased everything up, repacked the front bearings, rigrorously bled the whole system. Drove it and she tstopped fine

          Now MONDAY, when I was driving to work i found that the longer i drove it, the pulsating was hppenning again and getting worse as time went on.

          I was a little peeved. I don't know what else it could be. Aside from maybe the wheel cylinder??? I will take the drums to see if they are warped.

            apply the parking brake while moving. If it starts to shake, its the rear drums out of round. If it does not, then its not related to your rear brakes. Just keep your hand on the parking brake release if the vacuum one is dead, and don't stomp down on it full bore. Just apply it enough to get the car to start slowing. That ought to be enough to feel if the drums are wonky or not.

              See that is the thing, its hardly noticeable (if anything) when you first start driving, but the longer you drive, the more obvious it gets, if it would be the out of round drums, than it would consistently do it, not progressively get worse
