Help Guys ! - Installing Front Rotors 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Nathan Berk on  Fri Feb 2 15:21 CST 2001 [RELATED]

This evening I replaced the front brake pad and right front rotor - no problems!

Went to install the left front rotor ( OEM VOLVO part) and noticed it had a machined flat spot about 1.5 to 2 inches on the rotors edge.

It is a slight flat spot, and appears to have been machined in during the manufacturing process.

Is this a problem? Should I return the rotor for a new one or go ahead and install this one??

I do not see how it could in any way affect the braking.

Anyone ever see this before?
