possible causes?

im on my second set of front discs in 12 months. what would cause a disc to warp? the new set are only 2 months old.

had tracking done. was ok. allegedly.

if i get the discs checked and they are warped, what could the cause/solution be?

wheel bearings, possible overheating through sticking/seizing calipers

i would say warped discs due to over heating due to hard breaking!!

My Merc suffered warped discs which was due to the discs being shockingly bad quality, put some OEM ones on and all the problems were sorted.

then had to replace the bearings as they were shot

it may be a silly question, but did the hub face on which the disc sits, recieve a clean up? if left with dirt and rust etc on it this can cause a vibration which is identical to warped discs, may possbly contribute to warping
