check your caliper slides to make sure that move in and out freely. also when you compress the pisons back into the caliper do they go in easy or does it take alot of pressure to compress them?

before you replace the hub bearing... Is one side hot in comparison to the other? someone said to check caliper slides, my money is on that. when you hit the brakes does it pull, or stop straight? Then the other potential cause, check to make sure there is no rust on the face of the hub. some rotors have a small hole at the hub and rust builds up in there, then when you put the new one on the rust is not lining with the hole, its always a good idea to clean the hub to make sure the rotor is sitting flat, so you dont get pulsations.. and last option, rotors you bought were warped out of the box... Auto is good for that. if the rotors are stored improperly.. it happens...
