Re: IML: Rotors - Do Not Turn

My 69 has a vibrating rotor on the drivers side. It was that way when I bought the car in 94 & hasn't gotten any worse or better. The car stops fine.

Once turned the rotors make work fine, but become more suceptible to warpage, particularly under hard braking conditions, resulting in the pulsing pedal feeling.

That manual was written when you could go over to the dealer parts counter
and get a new hub and rotor assembly.  The manual also says to replace the
lower control arm if you need bushings or ball joints or something.

Personally I don't like turning rotors, I'd prefer leaving as much meat on
them as possible.  If new rotors are available, I usually go for them if the
existing ones are too scored.

Check the specs, which are in the FSM.

Says very explicitly REPLACE, DO NOT TURN the rotors
at all in the FSM.
