Why do my brakes pulsate when I tighten the lug nuts?

As the lug nuts are tightened, the hat section is forced flush against the hub, closing the gap. This slight bending of the rotor loads the hub/rotor assembly, increasing the overall strength and stiffness of both parts. If the lug nuts are over tightened or torqued unevenly, the stress loading is uneven.
