Your caliper bolts are probably loose (or missing).

Default Thats what i thought at first but they're on pretty tight ...
Just to be sure, those would be the bolts that need a #7 hex key?

Gawd no! Probably deposits on the rotors or loose pads.

They're only a few months old. And it is a very faint pulse.

Default You're overlooking something...
probably something very obvious. Spend some time and look over your work, or pay someone else to do it. Whatever works for you.
