Not so good vibrations.

I have 60,000 miles on my truck, tires and brakes. I rotated tires today and there is still plenty of pads left. But the inside of the drivers side front rotor has a build-up of something. That must be what is causing the vibration when I brake.

What is it and what should I do?

What do you suppose the build-up is? And why? I did not know that it was possible to turn rotors while still on the truck.

i dont know what the build up is but turning them will eliminate it...unless you already turned them and you will go below spec when you turn them next. then you will have to buy new ones...ya i didnt know you could have them turned untill my buddy at sears said they just got a new machine in...i cant wait untill my brake start pulsating so i can take it in
