Lateral RUNOUT - Fwd Models
- To check lateral runout, install and tighten lug nuts to hold rotor on hub. Attach dial indicator to suspension so that dial pointer contacts rotor face approximately one inch from outer edge.
- Rotate rotor and record measurement. If runout exceeds specifications, check hub lateral runout as shown. See Fig 1
.
- Before removing rotor, chalk mark rotor and one wheel stud on high side of runout. Remove rotor and check hub runout. Runout should not exceed .003" (.08 mm).
- If runout exceeds specifications, hub must be replaced. If hub runout does not exceed specifications, install the rotor on hub 180 degrees from original position. Recheck lateral runout. If runout exceeds specification, refinish or replace rotor as required.
