Ford Puma Brake Discs: The Part That Pads Depend On
On the Ford Puma, it's a paired system: let either one wear too far and the other suffers for it, which is why so many "just a pad change" jobs end up including discs once a mechanic actually looks.

Steering Wheel Vibration Doesn't Always Mean Genuine Warping — Ford Puma Brake Discs
A pulsing brake pedal or vibrating steering wheel is commonly assumed to mean the discs have warped, but in the large majority of cases they haven't physically bent from heat at all. What's actually happening is Disc Thickness Variation (DTV) — uneven pad material deposits building up across the disc surface, often during the bedding-in period after a fresh fit — producing the exact same sensation as true warping. Bedding in new discs and pads gradually, rather than braking hard in the first few hundred miles, measurably reduces the risk of this developing.
Ford Puma Brake Discs: What They Do
Brake discs provide the surface the brake pads clamp against to slow the car, converting momentum into heat through friction. Larger, sportier trims of the Puma typically use bigger discs than standard versions to handle the additional heat generated by more aggressive braking.
