Measure the disc at 12 points with a micrometer at a radius approximately one inch from edge of disc. If thickness measurements vary by more than .0005 inch, replace the disc.

Disc Brakes -> Front Disc Brakes -> Rotor, Replace -> Installation -> Removal
Vehicle: 2004 Ford Thunderbird 3.9 V8 GAS
This procedure has been revised by a Technical Service Bulletin.
On Sable and Taurus models, the disc rotor is a hat section-type of composite steel and cast iron. A Rotunda Rotor Mounting Adapter tool No. 054-00032, or equivalent, is required for use on the brake lathe for refinishing. Failure to use the adapter will result in gouging the brake disc, making it unfit for use.
On Sable and Taurus models, if service is required, install the new full cast front disc rotors, part No. F10Y-1125-B, in pairs only. Never install a full cast rotor on one side of the vehicle with a composite...
