Warped Brake Rotor??

Post by 427cobra »

Can a sled brake rotor become warped? My sled pulses when I apply the brakes. Has anyone had this happen before??

I havent replaced any parts yet...just want to make sure there isnt something else I should check as well.

Thanks!

Eric,

The rotor on my 340/s was warped. It acted just like you mentioned. You could feel it pulse when you applied the brake.
