Stu_2424 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Hi guys Just a query, when I bought the car the previous owner had a pair of vented and grooved discs that he had put on but said they had warped. Anybody know any reasons why I can't have these skimmed and then refit? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Marcus01 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Hi, Discs generally are not known to "warp" you will have an underlying problem which is causing the discs to developed DTV disc thickness variation. Skimming on its own will not give a long term solution to the judder you are experiencing. 1 Quote
Stu_2424 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 Thanks for the reply. The old owner refitted the original discs which I have had on ever since and there is no problem. Is it possible the discs were sent out with an issue from the factory? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Marcus01 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 That would suggest, the discs have pad pick up on them, in this case skimming would be a good option. 1 Quote
Stu_2424 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 Good stuff, thanks guys. Once i have them skimmed and fitted again, what would be the early warning signs that problems are returning? I'm guessing a juddering under heavy braking. Maybe an on/off dragging noise whilst moving? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Marcus01 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Check runout on fitting with a dial gauge. Quote
Stu_2424 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 Might have to drop into a garage then to have that done then once fitted , thanks for the help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
