Question on Brake rotors

Hello,

I need to replace my front rotors due to there being warped. These only lasted 3 years before getting warped while the prior ones lasted about 10 years before they wore down. I suspect they started warping very soon after they were installed.

1 – There is a right and left rotor. What would happen if they were installed the wrong way.
2 – Is right the driver or passenger side.
3 - What would cause the rotors to warp so quickly.


Thank you

If your steering wheel is on the left side, then where do you think the left wheel is located?


The L rotor is 210 421 18 12; the R rotor is 210 421 19 12--don't mix them up

Are the warped rotors OEM or aftermarket?

Yikes! Did you install yourself or a shop? Did you also swap in new pads?
