If the wheel runout is not within the specification, check the wheel bearing end play (see WHEEL BEARING END PLAY INSPECTION ), and make sure the mating surfaces of the brake disc and the inside of the wheel are clean.
If the bearing end play is within the specification (see WHEEL BEARING END PLAY INSPECTION ), but the wheel runout is more than the service limit, replace the wheel.
