    Buildup on brake rotors

    I'm working on our '93 FZJ-80 with discs all around. I did the calipers and pads a while back. The rotors, from the outside, looked fine and I ignored them. The typical "warped rotor" feeling came, I think getting progressively worse after the job. Pulsating while on the brakes. I had heard...

    Rear Brake Wear

    I had my brakes redone (rotors, pads, and calipers) by Les Schwab about a year ago.
