Chris,

No flame war going on here, just comments.

I've got a lot problems with a guy that says, "brake rotors do not warp" (in bold, no less). If the "technician" the author describes follows the procedures outlined, there will be a great deal of misdiagnosis.

A truly skilled technician will not just drive the car to diagnose the problem. He/she will actually examine the brake system, measure the thickness and flatness of the rotors at several points, do other examinations, and then make a determination as to the cause of the complaint. Placing a true bar across a rotor is plenty easy and can tell a great deal.

I've seen warped rotors. Brake rotors warp (in bold).

Cheers, Bruce motorbruce@hotmail.com
