Warped Rotors

Post by commlend »

Whats up guys,
I seem to have warped rotors- significant vibration when braking. Does replacing just the front rotors usually solve problem or when the fronts are warped they usually all are warped?
I believe I've heard someone say putting the front rotors on the back solved the problem. Has anyone tried this successfully? Thanks for any input.

Hello, I've read that rotors don't warp as frequently as people are told. Rotors don't get bedded-in evenly and the resulting unevenness is mistaken for warpage. Rotors are not interchangeable front to rear. Two entirely different parts. Kira
