What should I do if my brake rotors are warped?
1. After installing new disc rotors and/or brake pads, perform eight to 10 slowdowns applying moderate pressure from about 30 to 40 mph (50 to 60 kph) without coming to a stop. 2. Make an additional two or three slowdowns applying heavy pressure from about 40 to 45 mph (60 to 70 kph) without coming to a stop. 3. DO NOT DRAG THE BRAKES.
Can a warped brake rotor cause pedal pulsation?
Yet, as we know, brake pedal pulsation caused by out-of-true brake rotors is a fairly common problem that is almost invariably attributed to warped rotors, which is almost invariably confirmed by excessive amounts of rotor run out that is easy to “prove” with a dial gauge.
Why are the brake pads on my car Warped?
Of course, no technician can be blamed for the way some customers use the brakes on their vehicles, but in many cases, the uneven transfer of friction material from brake pads to brake rotors is the direct result of how we install brake rotors, which brings us to-
Can a DBA brake rotor be run out?
While it is true that high quality aftermarket brake rotors such as those supplied by DBA are almost certainly within OEM specs with regard to allowed run out limits, we often forget some very important things when we replace brake rotors, such as that-
What’s the real truth about Warped brake rotors?
The REAL truth about warped brake rotors… The typical situation: New pads are fitted to a new pair of brake discs. A week later there’s a vibration or “judder” when the brakes are applied. A call to a mechanically inclined friend and an online search offers the diagnosis—the brake rotors are warped.
What to do if your car’s rotors keep warping?
Grasp the tire at the 3 and the 9 o’clock position and gently try to wiggle the wheel assembly in and out. You should not feel any movement in the wheel. If you do, odds are the tie rod or tie rod end is worn and loose. Environment and driving habits can play a big part in which one is loose.

How long does it take to get new brake rotors?
Slotted rotors reduce brake fade and pad material build-up on the rotor surface. At this point, your new disc rotors and/or pads are ready for normal use with a thin, uniform coating of friction material on the rotors. But the full process of building up the friction layer can take 190 to 300 miles (300 to 500 kms) depending on your driving style.

How do you remove the brake rotor from a Dodge Ram?
The only thing keeping it from being removed at this point is the brake caliper’s mounting bracket. There are two bolts that hold this bracket onto the steering knuckle. Once these are removed, you can remove the caliper mounting bracket, and finally remove the brake rotor. The brake rotor might take a few taps with a mallet to remove it.
