Unless it is cause by my always put on foot brake when park.

The four wheel disc brakes has a slight different parking brake setup; while it still uses brakes shoes, the only time those shoes are used is when the parking brake is set. The parking brakes on the four wheel disc setup is inside the rear discs. Brake pulsation or vibration on disc brakes can be caused by overheated brakes due to overused or riding the brakes, and uneven tighten of the lug nuts. If you can feel the vibration/pulsation in the steering it is usually the front discs that are warped, it you can feel it in the seat more, the rear discs might be the cause. Both may also be felt in the brake pedal during braking.
On the front disc and rear drum setup, the same rear drum brake shoes are used for parking brake duty.
N.E.O.
