Strangely, a couple of Toyotas of mine have had warped front rotors after
having new tires put on; it would seem that the lug nuts were tightened
either excessively, or not with rotational gentilitiy. Too late to find out
after the brake pedal starts dancing around, but I always suspect the
combination of teen agers and an air wrench could be the problem.
Or maybe Toyotas just have sissy front brakes ... my other makes/several
cars never developed this problem ... yet ...
