How to Deal with Warped Rotors in Your Car
2
If your brake pedal or steering wheels feels
wobbly while you are driving, then it indicates
that you have warped rotors.
3
The rotors are the round discs, which help your
car stop when the brakes are applied, as the
brake pads clamp the rotor to bring the vehicle
to a stop.
4
Rotors are supposed to be flat and smooth, but
due to a number of factors warpage occurs in
them, which compromise your car's ability to
break.
5
Reasons behind warped rotors
6
Most of the time, warped rotors are caused by
excessive heating which is caused due to the
following reasons-

• Brake system issues
• Driving habits
• Over-Torqueing

7
Brake system issues
8
When your rear brakes are not working, then your
front breaks will work even harder, this leads to
heating of the rotors.
9
Sometimes the calipers, which houses and operates
the brake pads may also malfunction leading to
the heating of the rotors.
10
If the shocks are not functioning properly, they
can cause rotor warpage as excessive weight
shifts to the front design braking.
11
Driving habits
12
Driving habits also play a big role in the
condition of the rotors, that is if you are hard
on your breaks then the rotors will wear out fast.
13
Over-Torqueing
14
If you have a wheel installed and someone hasn't
torqued your wheel up properly, then it puts
stress on your rotor.
15
How to know if you have warped rotors
16
Rotors are normally flat and smooth, and as the
brake pads clamp down on them, the wheels stop.
17
When the rotors are warped, the brake pads can't
clamp the rotors easily and you will feel a
shudder on the brake pedal when you stop your car.
18
You will also feel a vibration in the steering
wheel as well, especially if it is the front
rotors that are warped.
19
Brake noise is another sign of the rotors being
warped as the rotors will be contacting the brake
pads unevenly.
20
One of the common signs of a warped rotor is the
increase stopping time of your car, even if the
surface is smooth, the car will take a long time
to stop.
21
What you can do
22
If the rotors are thick enough, they can be
turned in a machine process that uses a lathe to
smooth the rotor.
23
However, it is best to replace the rotors as they
are the most important safety feature in a car.
24
Using cheap quality brake pads rotors are not
a sound investment, and you must focus on
installing good quality rotors brake pads.
