Front Disc brake problem

[225-50R16]

Hello,
In my car I have wobbling steering wheal problem caused by kinked disc brake. I gave them to resurface (different people call it different) and after couple days I have the same problem again. I gave them once again to resurface, cleaning them with my drill and still - brush from inside (I did not clean the hub). The second operation also helped only for couple days. What can be the problem? Are those disc just junky and day do not perform the work or what?

What would be right choice of disc brakes for replacement?

Thanks so much

Generally Volvo rotors do not take well to resurfacing, and need to be completely replaced when they become warped the first time. Most people that resurface them report warping again in very little time.

I use the OEM Volvo rotors on my car, and they have lasted well over 45,000 miles and still stop smoothly. Warping rotors really depends on your driving habits...if you slam on brakes (like my dad), they'll start shaking. His cars have 50,000 and 30,000 on them and they both shake crazily if you put on the brakes. If you ride the brakes, it'll warp the rotors too. Come to a complete, gradual stop, or if you're forced to come to a hard stop at a light, pop it in neutral, inch forward a bit, and then set the parking brake until the light turns green again.

One alternative would be to use slotted or drilled rotors and ceramic brake pads. A bit more expensive, sure, but the idea is that they won't warp as easily as they vent off the heat better. The majority of the Volvo wheels are designed to do that anyway, though.

This is explaining everything. Thank so much.
