Intermittent brake "rumble"
I just replaced all the brake pads and rotors, and did a complete brake flush. While bedding the brakes I noticed a "whomp, whomp, whomp" sound from the front end of the car while braking. I know for certain that it did not do this before I replaced the brakes. It happens intermittently, only under braking. It is more prominent when braking quickly from high speeds, but I was able to get it to do it as well braking from about 40MPH. It sounds exactly like the ABS is kicking in, but there is no pedal vibration, flashing lights, etc. Could this just be the ABS module? If so, why now am I first hearing it? TIA.
