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. http://www.stoptech.com/whitepapers/...otors_myth.htm |

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.

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. Harvey.
