Replacement Rotors

Tighten Right
Another cause of warped rotors is improper wheel nut torque. Over-tightening of wheel nuts can cause undue stress and warping of brake rotors. The best solution is to use a torque wrench. This is an especially important consideration with aluminum or performance alloy wheels. Proper torque values are also crucial when refastening slider pins, caliper mounts and associated brake hardware. A service manual is the best place to find the correct information on brake and rotor replacement procedures. When working on your brakes remember that "good enough" simply isn't. Taking the time to do it right is the best and safest route to take.
