A solution I found some years ago, which has worked several times for me...


On an empty bit of road, get it up to 70 and brake as hard as you can, without actually locking the wheels, but (important) do not come to a complete stop. Repeat twice more.



Idea is, that the stops with your brakes applied, causes differences in ability for the disc to cool and sets up stresses in the steel and it warps. Getting them good and hot relieves the stresses - the not stopping completely, prevents more stresses being set up.


After about 3000 miles when braking the steering shakes quite a bit on braking and when stopping it's not smooth, . I've never had a problem like this in 45 years of driving and it's a big of a pain
