BRAKES - BASE 5 - 37
ZH
FRONT ROTOR MINIMUM THICKNESS
Rotor minimum thickness is 0.889 in. (22.6 mm). Do not resurface a rotor if at minimum thickness. Machining would
cause thickness to fall below this limit.
Measure rotor thickness at the center of the brake pad contact surface. Replace the rotor if worn below the mini-
mum thickness, or if refinishing would reduce thickness below the allowable limit.
FRONT ROTOR THICKNESS VARIATION
Variations in rotor thickness will cause pedal pulsation,
noise and shudder.
Measure rotor (2) thickness a minimum of six points
around the rotor face with a micrometer (1). Position
the micrometer approximately 3/4 in. (19 mm) from the
rotor outer circumference for each measurement.
Thickness should not vary by more than 0.0005 in.
(0.0127 mm) from point to point on the rotor. Refinish
or replace the rotor if necessary.
Note: A hub mounted on-vehicle lathe is recom-
mended. This type of lathe trues the rotor to the
vehicles hub/bearing.
Front rotors and hub/bearings are matched mounted
for minimum lateral runout. Before removing the rotor,
mark the rotor and hub/bearing to maintain original
orientation.
FRONT ROTOR LATERAL RUNOUT
Check rotor lateral runout whenever pedal pulsation,
or rapid, uneven brake lining wear has occurred.
The rotor must be securely clamped to the hub to
ensure an accurate runout measurement. Secure the
rotor with a minimum of 3 lug nuts and large diameter
flat washers on each stud.
Use a dial indicator (1) to check lateral runout.
Maximum allowable rotor lateral runout is 0.002 in.
(0.05 mm).
