Sounds to me that the roter is slightly warped.... I honestly have
very little faith in most dealers when it comes to these problems...

My right rear rotor was out by 27 thousands when I noticed a similar
problem a few years ago....replaced it with a new roter (out by 7
thousands when installed BTW) and the problem went away....

Thats my guess...
