Ok, so having replaced my front discs for the third time I can notice that the rotors is being warped again. I have only driven 250 miles with my new set and I can now feel that they (or maybe just one of them) are slightly warped. I replaced the new discs with OEM toyota discs and EBC greenstuff pads. I have noticed that the right disc is much warmer that the left one. Ok, so I thought that the caliper is stuck somehow. I have overhauled all four calipers about 6 months ago. Today I took out the caliper and both sylinders, all seems fine and the slide without any prob. I can push them into the caliper body with just my fingers! I tried a testrun without no braking at all and I can say for sure that the right disk are warm (let's say about 115F), so the caliper are not retreating fully? Not working 100%? I have no more ideas, I really hope someone can help me. I am getting really frustrated
 Edit: Oh, I've been really careful when braking. This post has been edited by eliaz: Jun 4, 2006 - 7:01 AM --------------------  |

I've cleaned the hub before installing the new discs, but I don't know if it is entirely flat. Where can i get a dial test indicator?
QUOTE are your wheels torqued to the correct specs with the right pattern? Yes QUOTE are all the mating surfaces flat? That I'm not 100% sure of QUOTE did you bed the pads and burnish the rotors properly? Yup QUOTE is the caliper piston sticking in its bore? Slides fine QUOTE is the retracting seal worn out and not retracting? retracting seal? When I overhauled my calipers I bought OEM rebuild kits with gommets and new seals. My brakes don't feel soft at all, they are really good exept from the vibrations caused by warped rotors. My guess is the master cylinder Is it possible to get a rebuild kit for it?Are there one piston per caliper in the master cylinder? My guess is that the master cylinder is not retracting the right caliper pistons like it should, because the disc on that side is getting warm without braking. Does that sound likely?
