Frankly I doubt your credentials. But in the event that you are who you claim you clearly have not grasp the subject of this thread. No one is interested in what happens to the rotors when there is a catastrophic axle failure.
Well yes, if the axle gets bent that much so that the calipers are force to the end of their travel then the rotors absorb the load. But so what. That's hardly got anything to do with someone who needs a brake job. You are talking about someone who has totaled their car.
`I agree if the side load is enough to deflect the axle so that the brake buttembly is caused to slide to the end of its travel then there is definitely a load on the calipers and rotors. But until the axle deflects that much there will be very little load on the disk because the calipers are designed to slide sideways. And if your axle does deflect that much you have a lot more serious problems than just a rotor. But for normal drivers under normal driving conditions this doesn't play any role in why rotors don't run true and develop uneven wear patterns which is the subject of the thread.
