Disc Rotor RUNOUT Check

Check the hub unit COMPL - front axle for free play and runout before the inspection of disc rotor runout limit. Ref. to DRIVE SHAFT SYSTEM>Front Hub Unit Bearing>INSPECTION .
Tighten the wheel nuts to secure disc rotor.
Set a dial gauge 10 mm (0.39 in) inward from the disc rotor outer circumference, and check the outer disc rotor runout while rotating the disc rotor.
Disc rotor runout limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 in)

NOTE: <Example of magnet stand and dial gauge installation>

The location where the magnet stand is installed varies to stabilize the magnet stand.
