LX 570 Rotors
2017 LX w/ 35K on her. Bought it and noticed steering wheel shimmy when braking. I’m thinking warped rotors. Has anyone had their rotors turned successfully around this mileage? Most shops are just saying to buy new ones since they don’t have a lot of meat in them. I have the own pad set but I’m having a hard time sourcing OEM rotors and want to know if anyone can recommend a good aftermarket rotor. TIA

Toyota rotors are turnable providing there is still enough thickness and the run-out isn't excessive (i think 5 thousandths of an inch?). Also as you drive, the rotor will heat up, heat expands metal and the rotor run-out will be more resulting more 'pulsation' when braking. Many shops don't even spend time machining rotors because of 'time', they just recommend replace the whole set.
