Many times disk pulsation is due to a build up on the rotor from the brake pad. To clean these drop in a set of abrasive pads like Hawk Blues and run for a 100 miles or so; /html/shop-talk/2004-02/msg00123.html (8,450 bytes)

However, I have in fact had warped rotors, that the article says can't happen.

If there is no runout, leave them alone. Smooth, shallow concentric grooves are no reason to have a disk re-faced. The pads will wear; /html/shop-talk/2004-02/msg00128.html (9,020 bytes)

Actually a big IF on a lot of street driven cars. A more likely cause of warped rotors, other than braking too hard, is over torquing or uneven torquing; /html/shop-talk/2004-02/msg00129.html (9,712 bytes)
