Alan,
You didn't mention what kind of vehicle you're driving, nor the mileage,
but if it has ABS, there's a bulletin out there about ABS pulsing at
very slow speeds, which can be confused with warping. I couldn't find it
in my bookmarks, but I was suspicious that our '95 Odyssey might have
the problem too. Get in touch with me, and I'll forward it if I find the
link. Do you happen to get an occasional ABS light too?
