Does anyone have any information on frequency of Rear Disc Rotor Warpage. I have never seen or experience one. I heard a guy spinning a yarn about rear disc rotor warpage and would like to know what would cause this 20% worker to warp.
V.B. Mercon opined in news: snipped-for-privacy@comcast.com:
Gee... not that I'm a pro., but i had a rear disc caliper hang up and it just ground down the rotor but didnt warp it.
I think it's BS
Drive like a maniac and it could happen. Long hard panic stops......
>No way.... I have made some serious panic stops in Pa, NY and in Canada from triple digit speeds, front rotors warped, but like I said, nothing ever happened to the rear rotors...
======================== I have seen ALOT of rear rotors warped. Of coarse fixing police cars for a living you probably see a few more than normal :) Also alot of rear axle seals leaking because of the heat.
OK, I take your word as expert gospel... "rear rotors do warp with more than a minimum frequency..."
Maybe a little old lady riding the brakes constantly ??? We all have been behind that car at some time.....

Curious scott if your a cop car man. What are the main drive train issues you normally see working with police cars? How long does your shop keep the cars before they auction them? What's the strangest thing you have ever found in a cop car?

I've yet to see a rotor warp. I've seen them ground down but in my experience anyhow, they've always remained true.
