The short version of the story is i'm becoming more and more convinced that one of my front brake rotors is warped in some way. I get a detectable oscillation on the front brake at low speed feather braking. high speed braking or hard braking doesn't produce it unless i'm going very slow, but i'm starting to think it's still happening but i just can't feel it due to the speed, because the oscillating "sound" is still audible in the brakes. The oscillation manifests as a perceptible suspension dip at regular intervals proportional to speed, meaning at certain points on the rotor it feels like the brake is grabbing harder. It's not getting worse, it's not getting better, it's just perceptible enough that I know it's definitely there and I can reproduce it at will.
So, What is a boy to do? I'd like to secure a new rotor, but I don't want to buy a brand new one, because they're outrageous. They seem to be really scarce on ebay. is there a good source for second hand rotors that anybody can point me towards? does anybody on the forum have a spare front disc for a 2014 std. model?
Is there anything else definitive that can be causing these symptoms? i've already removed the brake pads, cleaned the pins, cleaned the pads, cleaned the discs thoroughly, all that jazz. I even bled the brakes thinking it was possibly a fluid issue, no change.
