Pulsating Brake Pedal 700

Am starting to experience a strong pulsation in the brake pedal
along with a thumping sound from the front end.
It dosen't seem to pull to aggressively to either side but the steering wheel moves back and forth quit strongly .

I put a dial indicator on the front rotors and they were spot on.
I'm not so sure about the Bendix Calipers which have 213,000 miles on them, but could one side be setting up?

-How can I check for this problem?

The rotors seem to be wearing evenly on both sides but I haven't really
checked the pad thickness until next weekend.

I'm pretty sure the problem is in the front end as the rear calipers,rotors and pads were replaced 2 years ago.

Thanks for your insight into this problem.
