The higher temp rotor will be the side the car pulls to. Run-out would cause a vibration while braking the limit is .001 total run-out.

Jack the front of the car up and pump the brake pedal a few times with the car off, then try to rotate the wheels, they should turn freely, if they don't you have a caliper that is either not releasing or the guide pins are frozen. Also check that the pads are not binding in the bracket.

Run out is the disc wobble from side to side. There has to be a little built in to push the piston in a wee bit when you release the brakes.




The rotor does not push the piston back in a wee bit. If the caliper is operating correctly the piston will retract enough to release pressure from the rotor.

FL rotor also seems to not have worn properly. Appears more shiny from a visual inspection.




Sounds like the LF caliper may be hanging up causing the pads to drag on the rotor and get to hot.
