Question about brakes

Well about 8 months ago I replaced the front rotors and pads and now since it's summer time it' been getting in the 90's and I can feel that my rotors are warped and they are squeeky. My question is can I just get the rotors turned and put them back in with the same pads or do I need to replace the pads also. The pads that are in there have plenty of meat on them still.

ya you can/should be able to use the same pads . one bad thing bout fords rotors is they tend to warp . as long as they arent very bad and only suface fractures in them then turning them is an option . these rotors are nortorious for cracking also . inspect them closely .

True, but if you have any waves, from top to bottom, the pads will start the same type of pattern in the rotors again.

Take care,
