Subject:Brake drums warped - machining?
From:Shawn Wright
Date:Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:57:56 -0700

I bought some new drums, and cheaped out with made in China junk, which came
pre-warped from Autohausaz (not worth the cost of shipping to return them).
So now I have my old OEM warped drums with about 100k kms on them, or the
new ones, and have to decide which ones I should have machined. The old ones
appear to have plenty of life left - although I don't have calipers large
enough to measure them, they seem to be very close to the new ones in
diameter. What would you do?

Are there any things to watch for in having them machined, or can any decent
brake shop do it properly?
