Are my rotors warped?

sticking pad would make a lot of sense-- it would explain why i get the sound sometimes while i am driving. my car has 30k miles on it though, i dont think theyll replace my pads, new pads arent too expensive.

did you get that sound at high speed breaking or low speed? when my breaks are hot, they make a grinding sound at low speed breaking. the tech at the dealer said it's just cause the pads are glazed.
That's what my pops told me too. He said it's cause I overheated the brakes too much. It still stops okay, just makes a scraping noise.

got it, so i guess my rotors aren't warped, but changing to high quality pads and turning the rotors (or changing the rotors rather than turning) will get rid of the problem and keep it from returning.
