Runout Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Infiniti QX56. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Using wheel nuts, fix disc rotor to wheel hub at 2 or more positions.
Inspect runout using a dial gauge. (Measured at 10mm (0.39 in) inside the disc edge.)

1. Runout limit (on vehicle): 0.04 mm (0.0016 in)
NOTE: Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the specifications before measuring runout. Refer to "WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION - FRONT ".
If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by shifting mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by one hole.
If runout still out of specification, turn rotor with on-car brake lathe.
