Subject: Re: Did rear bearings and brakes, something weird on the right rear brake. Look

After machining a kazillion rotors I can tell you that it is impossible to machine a rotor on a rotor lathe so that the brake surface is at an angle to the hub surface. If the rotor was mounted improperly on the rotor lathe the rotor will wobble (laymans defination of run out) when installed on the hub. The result is a pulsating brake pedal. If you have access to a dial indicator use it to determine if the rotor is running true.

IMHO the caliper is/has spread or the pads are not seated/installed properly in the caliper housing or the caliper is not installed properly on the upright. Perhaps some trash/junk between the caliper & upright
