Need help..I think my rear rotors are bad!!
Well...I took off all 4 of my wheels to check the brake pads. All the pads are all still good. Very thick still. At least I know I do not need new brake pads. But, I have a feeling my rotors either rear or front are bad, warped. Everytime I apply the brakes the brake pedal has a pulsing feeling to it. I was told it could be the rotors. I am due for an oil change soon, so I will have my mechanic check the rotors and see if they are warped. When you feel that pulsing in the pedal what does that mean?? I mean I have not driven on the highway yet with the pulsing. I wonder if I will be okay with possible warped rotors and driving on the highway at 65 mph to 70 mph?? Not sure what my car will do at high speeds. Will have to wait and see this weekend. If its the rotors, I will replace them when I get the money for them. thanks.

Save yourself sum $$$ ,, just because the rotors may be warped, you dont need to replace them... Just by looking at them ya cant tell if they are warped, Have them taken off and resurfaced!! when their on the cutting machine thats when you`ll see if theres warpage..rotors get whats called Hot spots! Another problem may also be the ABS sensors not working correctly.. Have them looked at also.. Make sure theres no grease on the sensors...Good luck with it and let us know the outcome.............

You may be able to turn the rear rotors if they arent too warped and if they arent composite rotors like many of the rears are. If they are composites there is basically the disc and a drum part that they welded together.
