It is really hard to warp actual rotors unless they are really thin or you do some excessive breaking. Brake pads deposit material unevenly on the rotor, and that is your typical warped rotor. Turning and new pads should fix it


Most shops don't even have a lathe anymore, so they'll tell you they need to be replaced, but they don't

Warped rotors
Bad ball joints
Idler arm
Pitman arm
Tie rods
Worn out bushings (doubtful because of vehicle age but it's possible)
Out of round tire
Out of balance tire

Here's the scoop. My truck does the same thing. Has been for a while. Took it to reputable brake guy in town. He told me it wasn't a big deal and that he recommended just dealing with the annoyance rather than getting a brake job.

The Flux Capacitor is probably broken. You are in luck because I happen to have one lying around that I'm willing to let go of for just $1199.






In all seriousness, the front rotors are probably in need to be turned or replaced. Fords eat front rotors like a fat kid eats candy.

I had a bad caliper (seal) that would cause this symptom as well.

Does this mean that there is something wrong with my brakes?


I drive a 2011 Ford Expedition if that matters at all.



Had 3 fords over the years. All 3 had transmission and brake issues,mostly shaking when braking. Replace them rotors!

I got Hondas after that and never had another issue.
