heat! heat! heat! causes a rotor to warp 95% of the time. Little to now rust buildup in the vent area of the rotor, need a good pasage for air movement. rusty and flaking rust are no good! New calipers, brake flush, new rotors, clean flat surface free of rust buildup on the spindle area. All very important.

From the question, I can only assume your rotors are warped. Replace the OEM ones with quality brand like Brembo and install ceramic pads that will reduce heat and help prevent warping.

Why do the front rotors on my 1996 Buick Le Sabre keep warping?

Rotors normally warp due to two things. Either the wheels were install with the lug nuts torqued too much or heat has warped the rotors. The lug nuts must be torqued to exactly the factory recommended lb/ft. Too tight and the rotors will warp. Also excessive heat from riding the brake pedal or from lots of stops from high speed will warp the rotors.


What would cause brand new brake rotors to warp repetidly on a 1996 Buick Le Sabre?

Break rotors heat up very fast while drive and stopping, todays technology in my sense isn't the best on rotors. If you have a heavy foot and brake hard, that will contribute to warped rotors. Sudden stops will also case warping. Most brake Specialist (Les Shwab) recommend on new cars, and new rotors to brake easy, (light foot) on your new rotors for the first 1,000 miles of the rotors life. That way they have time to brake in.


Keep warping front rotors replaced lines calipers are very free any ideas?

Make sure you do not overtorque the wheel lug nuts. If that doesn't work try switching to OEM (Honda) rotors. I know they are more expensive, but will take care of your braking problems.

You might want to check your rotors and pads and check for warping. Try bleeding the brake line and make sure there is no air in the line as well some times it can cause pulsing

The brakes may be hot after a long drive, and the water will cause rapid cooling, possibly warping the brake drums or rotors.
