  1. Remove the road wheel and install two wheel nuts 180 degrees apart to retain rotor.
  2. Fasten a dial indicator graduated in 0.0001 inch (0.002 mm) to the steering knuckle so that the indictor stylus contacts the rotor about 10 mm (0.40 in) from the rotor edge.
  3. Zero the dial indicator.
  4. Move the rotor one complete revolution and observe total indicated runout (TIR).

Maximum Combined Hub, Bearing, and Rotor Lateral Runout 0.060 mm (0.0024 in)

Lateral runout of the rotor, if excessive, can often be improved by cleaning dirt and rust from hub and rotor mating surfaces, and/or indexing the rotor on the hub one or two bolt positions from the original position. If the lateral runout cannot be corrected by indexing the rotor, check the hub and bearing assembly for excessive lateral runout. If the hub and bearing assembly lateral runout exceeds 0.040 mm (0.0016 in), replace the hub and bearing assembly. If lateral hub and bearing runout is within specifications, refinish or replace the rotor as necessary. If installing a new rotor, inspect the inside hub mating surface. Runs in the paint should be sanded off prior to installing a new rotor. Refer to Front Wheel Bearing and Hub Replacement in Front Suspension or to Rear Wheel Bearing and Hub Replacement in Rear Suspension.
