You might want to check your differential fluid. I think those vehicles have limited slip rearends in them. It might need some limited slip additive. I know it is a Chevy but Motorcraft limited slip additive is the best.
There is a specific thickness a rotor needs to be to function properly. The minimum thickness is usually stamped on the rotor itself, sometimes on the edge and sometimes on the inside. If the rotor is warped,you need to have them "turned" on a brake lathe, or replaced. You will know if they are warped when you apply the brakes at a high speed,and the brake pedal moves up and down.
As far as the rear end, or differential oil is concerned, when you remove the cover and re-silicone it, you fill it until it runs out of the filler hole. Check with your owners manual to see what kind of grease it takes,and if it takes an additive in case of a limited slip rear end.
it could, that should be the first thing you check. If its low, the brakes may need service. as the brakes wear it takes up fluid, and the pads may be worn to the limits.
sounds like your brake calipers are sticky. Did you clean and lube the slides on the calipers when you did the brake pad swap? If so you probably need new calipers.
new rotors and new brake pads ... ...full job would include loaded calipers with all new hardware ..if you pay attention to disassembly you will not need a service manual necessarly..all is logical and straightforward...but you are dealing with safety so be sure you are good before taking a drive ...good luck
replace autoride pump system still will not work
