Creaking/Groaning Noise during low speed braking (2023 CX5)

turning the rotors is never a permanent fix... they become thinner and become easier to warp again... what does prevent rotor warpage to begin with is to make sure the lug nuts are evenly tightened... a torque wrench achieves this... go to a mickey mouse shop, and they'll blast the lug nuts on, "like a race car"

New rotors always go on with new pads for me. Modern rotors are made lighter than they were years ago. True, they have a minimum thickness spec, and usually the guy cutting the rotor will most likely always unnecessarily cut to minimum thickness whether they need to or not.

I guess my local dealer could be a Mickey Mouse shop but they are the only ones who took the front wheels on and off as I had oil changes and rotations done there while it was under warranty. Just finished my last oil change there.
