you cannot reuse pads on new rotors, and have a mixed chance of success even with a pad slap on old rotors. pads and rotors need to be changed together, and then bedded properly. see the stoptech site for the proper procedure.
failing that, i would be willing to bet that it is lower control arm bushings. i have had this happen before. they are almost always neglected, and at this age, almost certainly shot.

Thank you to all of you guys, you all make sense. Doug's comment about "more noticeable on light braking and not so noticeable at hard braking" kind of matches my car's behavior. I will check the front end, tie rods control arm bushings first before I replace the bearings. I will keep you posted as to what I will find for possible future similar situations to fellow Pelicans.
Thanks again and have a Happy and Safe Memorial weekend.
