Popping on left front when applying brakes (ABS).

Popping/bumping on left front when applying brakes (ABS). New rotors and pads just installed. No noise when turning that would indicate a bad CV joint. Removed wheel, caliper, and rotor to check everything and no apparent problems or excess play in drive shaft or bearing assembly.

Is your ABS light on? If so, you have a bad wheel speed sensor at the LF wheel. Or, you may have rust buildup on the teeth that the speed sensor measures. Pull off the axle, and check the toothed gear that resided in the spindle.

If not, you may havea sticking caliper piston, or inadequate lubrication on the caliper slides.

Why is the left front tire thumping and the brake pedal vibrating when I stop

ABS thinks you are skidding, and is applying the brakes on and off. Likely one of the ABS sensors is bad.

Master cylinder and/or brake booster could be the problem. A tiny bit of air in the system will effect your braking abilty. A fault in the ABS system would prompt the computer to trigger the ABS light. If you have brake shoes on the rear, make sure they are properly adjusted. Hope this helps.

Brake pedal vibrates while braking and doesent stop right away

There's speed sensors at each wheel. You may have got some contamination in front of one of them... sounds like the abs is trying to compensate for un equal speed at each wheel... and something may be blocking a proper read at one of the wheels...
