Wheel Hub Face Runout
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The brake discs must be removed to carry out the runout measurements.
- Position the special tool on the wheel hub face, as close to the outer edge as possible. Zero the indicator to allow the pointer to deflect either way.
- Rotate the wheel hub one full turn and note the maximum and minimum readings. The difference between the maximum and minimum readings is the total wheel hub face runout. The runout must not exceed 0.254 mm (0.010 in).
