Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction
NOTE:
- Brake rotor thickness variation MUST be checked BEFORE checking for assembled lateral runout (LRO). Thickness variation exceeding the maximum acceptable level can cause brake pulsation. Brake Rotor Thickness Variation Measurement
- Brake rotor assembled lateral runout (LRO) exceeding the maximum allowable specification can cause thickness variation to develop in the brake rotor over time, usually between 4, 800-11, 300 km (3, 000-7, 000 mi). Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Measurement
Review the following acceptable method for bringing the brake rotor assembled LRO to within specifications.
- The indexing method of correcting assembled LRO is most effective when the LRO specification is only exceeded by a relatively small amount: 0.025-0.127 mm (0.001-0.005 in). Indexing is used to achieve the best possible match of high spots to low spots between related components. Brake Rotor Assembled Lateral Runout Correction - Indexing
If the assembled LRO cannot be corrected using this method, then other components must be suspected as causing and/or contributing to the LRO concern.
