RUNOUT
1. Attach the disc rotor to wheel hub using wheel nuts at two or more positions.
2. Inspect runout using a dial gauge. Set the dial gauge to measure at 10 mm (0.39 in) inside the disc edge.
NOTE: Before measuring, make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the specification. Refer to FAX-6, "Inspection".
3. When runout exceeds limit value, displace mounting positions of disc rotor by one hole. And then find a position of the minimum value for runout.
4. If runout is outside the specified value after performing the above operation, turn the disc rotor using Tool.
THICKNESS
