heat! heat! heat! causes a rotor to warp 95% of the time. Little to now rust buildup in the vent area of the rotor, need a good pasage for air movement. rusty and flaking rust are no good! New calipers, brake flush, new rotors, clean flat surface free of rust buildup on the spindle area. All very important.
It most likely means that your brakes are very hot, and that some sort of liquid has touched your brake pads or rotors. Be careful about warping in the rotor.
If you're changing the brake pads and there is too little rotor thikness to turn it, it should be replaced. If the rotor is warped and is too thin to be able to turn to remove the warping, replace it. If the brakes "pulsate" when you use moderate brake pressure, the rotor is warped.
Can I reuse a resurfaced brake rotor with a new rotor on a car
Definately!! The uneven displacement of mass caused by a warped rotor (also called rotor run out) can cause severe shaking at certain speeds. Ironically, this senario is usually created because the driver decided to slam on his/her brakes, which ended up warping the rotors in the first place.
Warping in materials like wood or plastic is typically caused by uneven stress or moisture absorption. When one side of the material expands or contracts differently than the other, it can lead to warping. Proper storage and handling can help prevent warping.
The African Luhya word for the English word 'Warping' is "Ohwikotaa".
no
You have to remove caliper and rotor, punch out old lug and press in a new one.
Do you mean rotor? If so, remove the distributor cap and remove the old rotor and install the new one. Simple repair.
Rotor not usually necessary, but new hub is generally part of bearing now.
