Help Pls

I have a wierd pulseing grind in my front right brake. The noise is only there when brakeing and it pulses. I had the same problem last year and I replaced the rotor and pads and within 3 months is was back, still haven't figured it out. Your help is greatly apprecieated.

I have a 92 civic HB stock brakes

Dito, Dito

Also, do you have aggerssive driving habits? I drove my old EK with aftermarket rotors and pads for almost 2 years and never had any issues. Of couse, I did rear end a cab in march, but that was due to lack of taction not brake force.

I had really good rotors and pads, its wierd that it only happens on the right side. I don't drive that aggressive and it should be from heat. What could it be to happen twice in 2 years on the same side

maybe the caliper is starting to seize up or the release guides are not cleaned right, or maybe they are damaged.
