I always use a torque wrench on every bolt on the car. So I know it's not the lug nuts warping them. Also torqued the calipers with locktight.

I'll put a dial gauge on the rotors before I remove them and see if they are warped or if its a load of pad dust.


Hmmmmmm I have started using the Kleen wheel inserts, about 3 years ago. My daughters car does not have them and her brakes are fine. This time I will not install them and see what happens. But I'm changing a lot of things so it won't be conclusive about the Kleen wheel inserts. My wife and I drive the car and she is not a hard braker or a brake pedal rider like her Dad in New York. But his brakes are not warped either (Mercury Grand Marquis). So here goes the debate, did the Kleen wheels cause it ????
