Front Disc Rotor: Inspection

  1. Check front wheel bearing play and axial hub runout before disc rotor runout limit inspection. <Ref. to INSPECTION , Front Axle.>
  2. Secure the disc rotor by tightening five wheel nuts.
  3. Set a dial gauge 10 mm (0.39 in) inward of the rotor outer perimeter. Turn the disc rotor to check runout. If the disc rotor runout exceeds specified value, replace with a new disc rotor.
