Brake problem...

On my 1999 Ford Ex. I'll get a pulsing coming from the left front brake and the stopping is not good (takes some extra push on the brake pedel). This only occurs, thank God, at low low speed. Had the master cyl. replaced about 6 mos. ago and the dealer said I have another year to two on the calipers and pads. the vehicle is making no other brake sounds.

Could be the rotor. Relatively cheap and simple to replace.

How do you know it's the left front and not the right side or both? If it is the rotor, consider replacing or turning both sides. Also, inspect the pads.
