Default Pedal vibration but .0001 deflect on dial indicator.....?

just like it says, thought I'd put an indicator on the fronts and find the smoking gun... Well , I did not. Rotating the rotor with the dial on a flat plate steel and little if no deflection reads half a thousand to one max as I spin the rotor.... No smoking gun, has me perplexed. I would of swore I would see more warp. Darn.. Thoughts?

Lugs on the rotors , no defection, ball joints good, tye rods good, no rack play...

I may rotate wheels and swap pads just for good measure.

Hummmmm?

Cheers,mike

It's usually uneven amounts of friction material deposited on the rotor and not a warped rotor that causes this sensation. Scuff or skim or just get the brakes properly hot and re-bed. I have to do this every so often on my Audi A8 brakes to avoid the same issue.
