Thread: The mystery of the warping rotors....

A good idea if you have an auto is to knock it into neutral at the lights so you can take your foot off the anchors when stopped. Also your slides in your caliper may be getting stuck wearing your disc unevenly and putting pressure on only one side.

Cheers,

I think that is what I was saying, I was certainly thinking it.

As for the bed in technique , who does that ? This would apply to a brand new car also . Imagine the dealer selling a car to you explaining all that, he'd scare you off and you'd finish up across the road buying a Jeep. Not.

I imagine the manufacturers do this during the build, there are many references to doing this bed in procedure
