Problem for Ford 1991 LTD Crown Victoria
Do new rotors and drums still need to be cut?
By kioner - usenet poster
I used to have a 91 Crown Victoria which I sold 2 years ago and it just
pondered upon me an issue when I did all 4 brakes on my car about 3 years ago.
I had bought new rotors and drums from Pep Boys when I did the brake job. About
3 days later I noticed significant vibration on the highway without stepping on
the brakes. But about 2 days later, it was gone. Someone at work had told me
you still have to get new rotors and drums machined, as this might have caused
the problem. Is this true? I'm figuring the vibration was due to the pads
needing to be properly seated.

When I replaced rotors on 91 Taurus, my trusty NAPA dealer (he's VERY
reliable) told me that the rotors I bought did not need to be touched. Just
clean with brake cleaner and away you go. I followed that advice and the
brakes have worked fantastic for the last 6 months.

I have found that some rotors are not true when you buy them...
These lower priced rotors seem to consistently cost about half what the flat
parallel rotors cost...

I am a brake tech. the answer to your question is yes. you should turn
new drums and rotors to prevent a pulsatating pedal after the brakes get
good and hot the first time.

I've been a brake mech (Us oldsters are mechs. Techs is for youngsters.)
since before disc brakes. I speaketh thusly - "In the year 2001 NO new rotor
worth it's weight must be machined. (Sans the ocasional oddball that demands
to be pressed on.)"

I bought new rotors from Autozone for my 95 Taurus. They pulsated after about a
week. I took them back and got replacements under warranty. That set was made who
knows where. The second set is stamped "FORD" with the oval symbol and are made in
Brazil. They are working fine after 7 mos. Guy at Autozone said he gets quite a
few returns on rotors that come from China and Mexico and don't have a American
manufacturer symbol to go with them.

Assuming the rotors were turned at the factory, are you saying the car
should be driven to get the brakes hot and then turn the rotors again? I
don't know anyone that actually does this?
