Turn new rotors?

I want to replace the front rotors on my 98 AWD Explorer. Do I need to get the new rotors turned before using them?

no you dont need to have new rotors turned. What you do need to do is make sure you clean them good. They come with some kind of perservitive on them, so you have to make sure you get that off first. I always use brake clean. It works good. GL

Thanks! It's pretty interesting the BS mechaninics have told me in the past to make a few extra bucks.

Your welcome, I understand that. I have worked at some shops like that. Where the manager was trying to sell stuff on a vechicle after I told them they dont need it. I just quit. I cant work for someone like that. GL
