Heat causes them to warp.
While you can have only 1 side warp, it's very unlikely. More commonly the whole disc warps. Lower quality steel/thinner rotors will warp easier than OEM ones. Not to say you can't get aftermarket rotors that are good quality. Also, if you drive the car hard [lots of hard braking], and park it before the rotors have had a chance to cool, the part of the rotor that is covered by the pad will be more likely to warp. --------------------  |
