Default Pulsating Brakes - 2002 V70

Good Day,

I have a 2002 V70 and there are some issues with the car that I could use your help with.

1. Brake Pulsation

Typical brake pulsation is being felt. Don't know if it's the front rotors or the rear rotors or both (only recenly purchased car and not familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the model yet.)

Anyway, I don't have a shop manual. Tried looking on line to see if there was one available, however, could not find it.

Front rotors were measured at 25.6 mm and rears at 10.6 mm.

Fronts are OEM, rears are AM.

I suspect the rear rotors are warped, but I'm not sure.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if the V70 is prone to Rear Rotors getting warped, or is the front prone?

Do the numbers indicate that the rotors should be replaced.

Anyway, I'm sure that there are those on the forum who are familiar.

Thanks

9 times out of 10, it's the front rotors that warp, but if you suspect the rears, ck the runout with a dial indicator...
