I just got a used 2006 jeep liberty and the front rotors have "u" shaped slots in them I was wondering if that was a type of slotted rotor because the only slotted ones I have seen just have line slots on them

Would think previous owner drove with worn out pads and dug grooves into rotors

Would that make perfectly shaped "u" grooves around the whole rotor I believe there is 6 total all seperated evenly?

Shake on braking does indicate warped rotors maybe they will help out
