CAUTION: The rotor runout specification must be met to assure proper brake performance without premature vehicle return with shudder, pulsation or roughness complaints.

1. Remove caliper and caliper bracket. Service and Repair

NOTES:
^ Mark one stud and rotor hole with touch-up paint to ensure proper re-indexing of the rotor.
^ Make sure all mating surfaces between the hub flange and the rotor are clean and free of rust or contaminants to prevent an erroneous reading.

Rear Brake Rotor Runout:

2. Mount the rotor with all wheel nuts firmly tightened.
3. Install dial indicator gauge.
4. Measure runout at approximately 9.5 mm (0.375 inch) inboard from the outer edge of the rotor.
5. If the runout is below 0.05 mm (0.002 inch), remove gauge and reinstall the caliper and caliper bracket.

NOTE: The gauge can remain mounted at the same location for either measurement. However loosen the tension on the flexible indicator arm and move the gauge well out from the area and tighten while components are being removed or installed.





6. If the runout is not within specification, remove the rotor and measure the hub flange mounting face outside of the stud circle.
7. If the runout of the hub flange exceeds 0.08 mm (0.003 inch), install a new hub assembly and repeat flange face runout measurement. Refer to Transmission and Drivetrain. Reinstall the rotor and repeat the rotor runout measurement.
8. If the runout of the rotor exceeds the specification but the hub flange is within specification, reindex the rotor and repeat the measurement.
9. If the rotor still exceeds the specification, replace the rotor, repeat the runout measurement and reindex the rotor if necessary. Rear Disc Brakes
10. Reinstall the caliper and caliper bracket.
