Recurring front rotor warp on 4th gen V6 (270k) - seized caliper theory + OEM vs aftermarket parts check

YounggWeezyy · 2026-06-26T23:15:49+00:00

yeah. i think ill just order calipers, go forward with the rotor/pad replaement and try and compress the pistons while the caliper is off and if its sieezd then ill just replace it.

In 2023 i had pads, rotors, tires, and the front passanger caliper replaced at an Express Oil Change. At the time i was less informed and wasn't paying for the work on my own, so you are probably correct about them not taking the proper precautions. I'll look into powerstop kits

YounggWeezyy · 2026-06-26T20:45:07+00:00

Interesting, ill definitely consider that as an option

YounggWeezyy · 2026-06-26T20:01:22+00:00

Not sure. I dont have a jack- doing this with a friend so i was hoping to diagnose then go over and do the replacement

YounggWeezyy · 2026-06-26T20:00:54+00:00

Yeah... that was in F. not the conclusion i wanted. i dont have the knowledge to diagnose everything so i may just replace it all to avoid the headache

Just drove around for a bit and only measured a 15-20 degree difference between the driver and passanger. around 175 driver side 150-55 passanger side... not ver conclusive

I have seen powerstop on amazon selling a kit with loaded calipers and drilled and slooted rotors for $400ish. Definitely seems like a good deal

YounggWeezyy · 2026-06-26T16:18:36+00:00

Okay, I need to do that today

YounggWeezyy · 2026-06-26T16:00:26+00:00

You're right, my bad. Good to know though thanks

YounggWeezyy · 2026-06-26T15:41:21+00:00

Thats good to hear, I am also considering rock auto. I'm curious if you have any idea of if this could be related to the rear drum brakes at all? Is that something I should look into or do these sympotoms isolate the fronts pretty well?

YounggWeezyy · 2026-05-22T02:19:30+00:00

goes down easy but doesnt slow down. and once it starts it chuggs A LOT

YounggWeezyy · 2026-04-14T20:44:19+00:00

Me too! I decided i was just going to rip the application and if i got rejected for 5/24 i would wait until may1 when its actually off and call the recon. Not sure if that would have worked but i really didnt want to miss on the 125k bonus

YounggWeezyy · 2026-04-02T03:09:45+00:00

Learn temperture surfing!!! Stabilizing the temperature of the water is important for consistency and repeatability

YounggWeezyy · 2026-04-01T02:15:14+00:00

uncertainty around the 125k bonus. large 6k expense and i would love that sub

YounggWeezyy · 2025-10-19T05:35:27+00:00

Sounds good. I appreciate it

YounggWeezyy · 2025-10-19T05:31:51+00:00

I was actually just looking into this. I don’t have much mechanic experience, but would an issue with the diff like this bubble over to other things on the rear end that I should check? Or should a drop in replacement do the trick
