Lateral Runout

Raise and support vehicle. Mark relationship of wheel to hub and remove wheel. Reinstall 2 lug nuts to retain rotor to hub. Clamp a dial indicator to caliper so it contacts rotor at a point about 1/2 inch from outer edge. Turn rotor one full revolution. Check indicator reading. If reading exceeds specification, refinish or replace rotor.
