So what is this "hot rotor warp" thing?
So I've heard of this problem with Hondas where the rotors can sometimes
"warp" when hot. I think I have this same problem too. When the rotors
are cold, I don't feel any shimmy in the steering wheel, but when I heat
them up I can feel it pretty bad. According to an article on stoptech,
most rotors don't actually bend, but just develop "sticky" spots. So my
guess is that my rotors aren't actually bent, but somehow the sticky
spots get stickier when the rotors get warm. Does that sound
reasonable? Are OEM brake pads abrasive enough (when cold) to scrub
away this sticky spot?
