Warped rotors

[Zadams31]

Anyone else ever have why problems with rotors on their 4Runner?? When through a few sets on my 2000 now the 2007 is vibrating like a champ 45-25mph.

Are you a rough braker? And sometimes. They just warp with time.

Somewhat it's been about 25,000 miles since last replacement

what pads are you using? If you use cheap pads they will damage your rotors...

Did you buy OEM rotors?

Odds are, your rotors aren't warped. It's probably irregular deposition of brake pad material, and you can fix that. Take the rotors off and clean them with a wire tool on an angle grinder - it doesn't hurt the rotors at all. Or if you feel like spending money, get them turned or buy new ones. Whichever way you go, it's important when you get new pads to bed them in, and then avoid coming to a complete stop with your foot hard on the brakes if you can help it, especially if your brakes are hot from a long descent. That's how the brake pad material melts against the rotor, and then they feel "warped".
