So now I have all new pads and new front rotors. I will take it to have it checked. I cannot think brand new rotors would be warped. (in reply to carnut) Post #: 11

I cannot tell warped by peeking under the wheel well. you be smart to do the tests recommended. < Message edited by Stealth -- 3/25/2008 12:08:28 PM > _____________________________ Simply CLICK on the Allante banner here to JUMP to our Allante section.

Resurface the rear rotors and report back. _____________________________ 2 1984 Eldos, 1991 Allante, 88 Allante (sold) (in reply to Stealth) Post #: 13
