Bad rotor = rebuild?
I was doing lots of searches on here and suprisingly haven't found any good info yet on bad rotors. But, basically if you're told a rotor is bad it's time for a rebuild?. Not doubting the mechanics but wanted to learn and find info for myself as well.
Thanks

get a compression test. That will tell you what is going on and with which rotor. As impact says, if they tell you "bad rotor" that doesn't mean anything...the rotor itself more than likely isn't bad...it's the apex seal in most cases or a corner seal which is less likely. either one going bad means rebuild yes.
