RUNOUT

1. Attach disc rotor to wheel hub using wheel nuts (at two or more positions).

   NOTE: Before measuring, make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the specification. Refer to RAX-5, "Inspection".
3. When runout exceeds limit value, displace mounting positions of disc rotor by one hole. Then find a position of the minimum value for runout.
4. If runout is outside the specified value after performing the above operation, refinish the disc rotor using Tool.

THICKNESS

Check the thickness of the disc rotor using a micrometer. Replace disc rotor if the thickness is less than the wear limit.
