Subject:Rotoritis?

My 85 GL, has, since I purchased it,had a warped rotor.( I thought )
I have procrastinated on this job for about  4 mos., and I finally found
he time, last weekend.
I took the new rotor's to a local flaps, (reputable) and prior to
installation had them spin them on the brake lathe, with the cutting bit
just touching them to make sure that they were true, and they were.
Well Kemosabies, it's still doing the same thing.
It sure feels like a rotor out of round.(Or warped)
Changed all the inner and outer bearings,
tires are new, all the way around,
( Did the same thing with the old ones ) & the
Wheels aren't bent,( I would have seen that when they balanced the
tires)
I'm going to check out the rear drums, or maybe just go get them cut,
anyway just to be sure their round.
Anything I might be missing? Forgot?
