Default Re: Whirring.

I cleaned the rotor, pad, checked the piston operation, and even cleaned up
the abs sensor. i can actually see a slight warp in the rotor. I'll
probably get them machined next week. Now of course, having had to replace
both rear calipers.....i didn't pay the $$ for the actual honda, but a fair
price for the high mid range. maybe those are messed too.
