You dont want to know what new rotors cost at dealer. That was what I asked for at first or they told me worst case or something. They didnt even stock the part.
I dont even remember really, I blocked it from memory it was so traumatic.
It was hundreds per rotor. Hub has to be pulled.
Mine developed warpage driving in colorado mountains. And I did best not to ride brakes.

Cat bank 2 below efficiency is reported by the o2 sensor behind the cat though, as it is the only sensor that COULD report this code, correct? SO, trying to eliminate things without spending money (2 sets of tires this coming week, and 1 set of pads and rotors on wife's pilot cause I don't have time to do it), so money is tight for the truck, and don't want to replace something I don't have to!
If I am wrong let me know other possible causes. Curious.

I have this very problem on my 06 Fusion. To fix it, I have to change the cat out. The problem with this system on the Fusion, is that the whole front manifold is the cat in this case. I have to change out the manifold to correct this one. A new one is at least 265. from Amazon or RAuto. I had a friend pull one from a 2010 with 65k on the clock, and will use that when it quits raining and I am finished with the F150. Since it is exhaust, most wrecking yards won't sell the parts. Something to do with Federal law.

It doesn't have to be the O2 sensor. P430 can also a low efficiency in the last cat. This isn't too uncommon. The only way, if this is the case, is to change out the cat before the last sensor.
