Wheel Hub Flange Bolt Circle 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 perpendicular to the wheel hub bolt, as close to the hub face as possible. Zero the indicator to allow the pointer to deflect either way.
- Rotate the hub until the next bolt is contacted. Record the measurement and continue until each bolt is checked. The difference between the maximum and minimum contact readings is the total wheel hub flange bolt circle runout. The runout must not exceed 0.38 mm (0.015 in).
