Time to do the front brakes on my 2007 Superduty and I have a question. In 9 or maybe even 10 of the last brake jobs I have done, in the family or for friends, I have bought new rotors. They are usually cheap and it makes the job go faster.
New rotors for my truck are about $100.00 and I was thinking I might just get them resurfaced. There is only 52k on the truck but I noticed when pulling the boat they have degraded some.
New rotors are double ground - both sides are cut at the same time. This ensures that the sides are parallel. When getting them turned, like at O'reillys, they only cut one side at a time. And this is usually by a kid that may or may not be very experienced.
Am I overthinking it? They will turn them for about 15 bucks apiece. I am assuming they will still have the required thickness after turning due to the low miles.
Any input would be appreciated.
