I just changed my rear tire and put in new break pads. While driving this morning and breaking at speeds above 20 mph, I get a vibrating noise, sounds like a 2 stroke weed trimmer motor going. When I apply more pressure it goes away. I am guessing it is NOT a warped rotor because I do not feel any pulsating noise. I know the pads are not sticking because my average miles per hour went up on the ride here. I am guessing the rotor has some issues with its face and the new pads are not seating correctly when lightly applied. I do not so much mind changing the rotor, it's more about taking everything apart again. My questions is do I do nothing for about 200 miles and see if the pads seat themselves to the rotor? Do I try sanding the rotor, as other threads have suggested or do I stop whining and buy a new rotor?
