Checking Lateral Runout (Brake Disc/Wheel Hub) And Thickness Tolerance
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2018 Porsche Cayenne, 2017 Porsche Cayenne, 2016 Porsche Cayenne, 2015 Porsche Cayenne, and 2014 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Information
Fasten dial gauge set with ball joint arm to wheel bearing housing.
Two adapters are used for checking lateral runout. The brake disc and wheel hub can be measured with these.
Brake disc lateral runout
- Remove wheel → 440519 REMOVING AND INSTALLING WHEEL
- Adapter Plate 9510/1 must be fitted and tightened to Tightening Torque 160 Nm (118 ft. lb.). → Adapter plate on wheel hub
- Fit adapter Dial Gauge Set With Ball Joint Arm Nr. 147-1 at a suitable position on the wheel bearing housing. → Dial gauge on brake disc
- Fit the dial gauge with some preload and measure the lateral runout at the greatest external diameter of the brake-disc.
Wheel hub lateral runout
Information
The front face of the wheel hub must not be corroded. If necessary, clean with fine emery cloth.
- Measure the wheel hub lateral runout at the front face of the wheel hub. You should always measure the external and internal diameters of the wheel bolt area.
- Remove brake disc. → 465319 REMOVING AND INSTALLING REAR BRAKE DISC
- Fit adapter Dial Gauge Set With Ball Joint Arm Nr. 147-1 at a suitable position on the wheel bearing housing. Fit the dial gauge with some preload. → Dial gauge on wheel hub
Brake disc thickness tolerance
- For details of brake disc thickness tolerance, see Technical data/brake wear limits →. 4650TW TECHNICAL DATA/BRAKE WEAR LIMITS
- Measure the thickness tolerance using a suitable micrometer screw at approx. 8 places within the braking surface.
