Rotor Servicing: Parallelism

Check thickness of rotor at four or more points around circumference. Make all measurements at same distance from edge of rotor. If thickness varies more than specified, refinish or replace rotor, as necessary.

NOTE: Rotor and hub are cast as integral assemblies on most vehicles; however, if they are separate components, it is allowable to replace each component as necessary.
