Here is a good primer on the subject: https://www.facebook.com/notes/power...5888830742846/ Depending on what kind of pads you have (abrasive or adhesive), it could indicate an issue with the tire (flat spot) where the rotor is getting additional buildup or wear from the pads. But more likely either wheel balance or perhaps a tire defect coming to light. True rotor "warping" is very rare. They are typically cast. Cast things don't warp, they crack and break. But a lot of shops will tell you they are warped because it's easier to part you from your cash. And more profitable than removing and turning the rotors or diagnosing and solving the real problem. |
