[QUOTE="absidian, post: 237732, member: 4356"] moots, I understand what you are saying.... I think "daily stomp test" probably not enough la... this has to be repeated a few times in successsion. During normal driving - brake temps usually not enough to remove deposits. And must repeat few times in succession. If the caliper jammed then, YES will possibly "warp" coz a) the disc is subjected to high temperature over extended periods of time b) uneven heat is being applied, i.e usually pad on only one side is jammed on c) Excess heat from (a) will then cause the excessive pad glazing I have had jammed calipers before, so what I usually do (diy) is remove them, clean/regrease the caliper's sliders, wind the piston back into the caliper and then swap the pads out for fresh ones. If the rubber boots and seals kaput then there is usually a "caliper refresh" kit available to replace them. Job's a good 'un :) At the end of the day, my suggestion may not necessarily solve all cases of brake judder simply because there are many other factors involved... so just a suggestion that has worked for me and i'm just sharing it, k. - [/QUOTE]
