warped rotors myth?
 

This site supposes a different reason than I thought.

Don't know if this is correct, but maybe someone on the forum can say with some authority.

So what he's saying is that when I chuck up a rotor on the lathe and it's wobbling side-to-side, it's not warped, it just has friction deposits embedded in it? Sorry, but .125" wobble that isn't a wobble would look like half the brake pad was stuck to the rotor.

"Brake roughness has caused a significant number of cars to be bought back by their manufacturers under the "lemon laws". I'd like to know of a single car that an OEM bought back under the 'Lemon Law' just because the rotors were warped. Let's face it, don't you think the OEM would put a new set of pads and rotors on a car rather than give the customer his money back? Duh!!

The remainder of the article is fair enough, but I'm still not buying those two parts. :)

thanks Beav. I thought that this seemed somewhat over done, but couldn't speak from having seen enough brake disks to say myself.

I used to work for the Texas Motor Vehicle Division, which regulates the motor vehicle industry and enforces the Texas lemon law. I never saw a vehicle repurchased because of brake roughness, though that may have been one of several original complaints that all together may have caused a repurchase.

Beav's right, most manufacturers would rather gargle with Drano than give a customer his (or her) money back.

Good brake info.
 

The info, other than the lemon bits, is good advice for all.
Have allways been a advocate for gently bedding in of pads and disks. It is very easy to ruin a set, by hot spotting during the bedding in process.

Ya I'm in line with everyone else on this one.
