1. Measure the run out of the rotor at its maximum
diameter. If the run out exceeds 0.005, then the
rotor must be machined. Do not machine the rotor
beyond its service limits.
NOTE: A bent axle or damaged rear axle could cause
excessive brake rotor run out.
2. Measure the thickness of the brake rotor in 3
places. If the brake rotor thickness is less than
0.20-inches, then the rotor must be replaced.
