My 85 GL, has, since I purchased it,had a warped rotor.( I thought ) I have procrastinated on this job for about 4 mos., and I finally found he time, last weekend. I took the new rotor's to a local flaps, (reputable) and prior to installation had them spin them on the brake lathe, with the cutting bit just touching them to make sure that they were true, and they were. Well Kemosabies, it's still doing the same thing. It sure feels like a rotor out of round.(Or warped) Changed all the inner and outer bearings, tires are new, all the way around, ( Did the same thing with the old ones ) & the Wheels aren't bent,( I would have seen that when they balanced the tires) I'm going to check out the rear drums, or maybe just go get them cut, anyway just to be sure their round. Anything I might be missing? Forgot? Terry |
