Warped, meaning that the surface of the rotor (or the entire rotor itself) is not flush. The there are high and low spots on the surface of the rotor, then when the pads pass over it, it causes the steering wheel to shimmy and shake.

You may not be able to visually tell if a rotor is warped. However, if the rotor is machined (shaved), the rotor's surface becomes flush or "true".

i have warped rotors...cuz i drive to fast and brake faster...i got em shaved once and man it was some smoooooth braking after that...for about 3 days and then they were back to normal...Ive learned to live with the shaking wheel now. If i dont feel the steering wheel shake then i get worried
