brake rotor runout

Pesce Nero · 03-14-2009, 12:16 PM

how much is too much? i have a buick park ave that is shaking the wheel pretty good during braking and the rotors look good. both rotors have .005 runout. could that much be causing it or should i be looking somewhere else. no noticable play at all on the hub rotor

possibly. the best thing to do being that they are slip off rotors is to have them turned as long as they are thick enough. that will eliminate that issue and most the time when they do it only in braking the rotors are the problem. Hope this helps
