I recently overhauled my brakes, which included lightly used Zimmerman Cross-drilled rotors, rebuilt front and rear calipers, and BMA SS brakelines.
The system has been working wonderfully, but I've started to notice that there are one or two rotors that are slightly warped... I think the warping is very slight because I only feel it at low speeds when coming to a stop. This all started 2+ months after my install, so I know the rotors weren't warped before I installed them.
Is there a way to diagnose, while driving, which rotors are warped? My intuition is that it is probably one, or both, of the rears as there is NO shimmy in the steering when I feel the braking pulsation (which occurs only at low speeds).
What would possibly cause them to warp quickly like this? I personally rebuilt the rear calipers, but can't imagine that I messed up as it's such a simple mechanism. Is there a way to tell if a caliper is sticking (assuming that would cause a premature warp)?
Gracias,
Ken
