back rotors could be bad, is the front end alligned after tie rod changed?

maybe brakes arnt sitting right after rotor changed. try driving in reverse flat level ground, slamming on the brakes that sometimes can get them to sit in.

do that a few times.

to ck the rear rotors while driving 40 mph + hit the emergency brake,

anytime you change the rotors change the pads or sand them straight the warp will transfer from the pads
