i've seen them grab a hold of a wheel and check if they are loose but only on heavily modified cars and on old cars. like 1970s, 1960s (usually healeys).

The brake pulsation could be pad material transfer. When the brakes are cold (like first drive of the morning) do they feel fine? until you get on the freeway and have to use the brakes from higher speeds or once they warm up, then they pulsate. Getting worse as they get hotter.

If it does, then it's most likely pad transfer. It's easy enough to fix, have the rotors turned ever slightly to remove the pad material. or you can spray water on the rotors and then scrub the crap out of them but that takes a long time and it's a pain to the the back side. Next remove the brake pads and take a tiny bit off the top, with a sand paper. You will most likely have some glazing on the pad.


Once done, properly bed the pads and the rotors in. To do this find a long stretch of road (empty preferably). Then accelerate to 30mph, and apply the brakes slowly until you slow to about 10mph. repeat 10 times then allow the brakes to cool for about 10mins. then up the speed to about 40mph and repeat.

make sure you don't come to a full stop of slam on the brakes. then use the brakes normally for the next 100-200miles.

provided you don't have anything leaking from the car, most likely you will pass inspection. I hope to see you there
