| Description of the problem | Rear rotors have deep grooves being cut into them, the front are not as bad but more ripples in them. I took it to my ford dealer and they told me it was due to having used tire shine on the tires. I explain to them that this was the first time i used it and it was the nite before i brought the truck in for service. The truck is a 2004 f150 supercrew 4x4 fx4. It has 4256. Miles on it. I have noticed 11 other f150 supercrews with the same 2 line grooves cut into the rear rotors. One of those trucks only had 600 miles on it. All where the 2004 f150 supercrew 4x4 ( lariat and fx4) |
