Best Answer

Calipers that are not operation correctly, dragging the brake pedal which then heats and could distort the discs, Slamming on the brakes. Any of the above are most likely why you have a variation in disc thickness

Rotors do not warp as many people think.Brake Torque Variation and Disc Thickness Variation are the cause of the issue. Brake Torque Variation (BTV) is a variation of torque across the face of the rotor causing the rotor to slip and catch as brake pads pinch the rotor. The differences in torque across the rotor may be caused by an inconsistent rotor finish or the metallurgy of the rotor.BTV can be caused by uneven deposits of friction material. This might not cause a pulsation in the pedal, but it will cause the vehicle to judder or vibrate. Disc Thickness Variation (DTV). This measurement is the result of measuring the thickness of the rotor surface at multiple spots around the rotor. Subtract the thickest part from the thinnest, and you will have a measurement for DTV. As the thickness variations of the rotor pass through the caliper, the piston moves in and out. This action generates pulsations in the brake pedal that can be felt by the driver. Very small amounts of DTV can create a significant problem. Today, new vehicles are typically built with a thickness variation of less than 0.00078". Thickness variations in excess of 15 microns (0.00059") can easily generate driver complaints. DTV specifications are significantly lower than runout specifications which typically are .002". This is due to the fact that a caliper can "float" or move back and fourth without forcing the piston back into the bore. So what causes BTV and DTV? The answer is not distortion caused by overheating. Heat does play a role as it increases wear on the rotor that causes a "warped" feeling.


Is it normal to have a smell when a disc is being burned?

Burning a disc can produce a faint smell due to the heat generated during the process. However, if you notice a strong or unusual odor, it may indicate a problem with the disc or the burner and you should stop the process and investigate further.


What is sequestered disc cephalad?

A sequestered disc cephalad refers to a herniated disc fragment that has broken off and moved upwards within the spinal canal. This can put pressure on nearby nerves or the spinal cord, causing symptoms such as pain, weakness, or numbness. Treatment may involve surgery to remove the sequestered fragment.


What is developmental variation and environmental variation?

Developmental variation refers to differences between individuals that arise due to genetic and epigenetic influences during development. Environmental variation refers to differences between individuals that are caused by exposure to different environmental factors, such as diet, temperature, or social interactions. Both types of variation can contribute to phenotypic diversity within a population.

What width is to narrow for a worn brake disc?

There is a engraved number on the outer rim of the rotor. This will be where the rotor is the largest in diameter. It will be hard to read if the rotor is rusty. This number is the minimum recommended thickness. You may have to use a dial caliper to accurately measure the rotor.
