ISSUE:
On-vehicle caliper-mounted brake rotor machining equipment from Rotunda is now approved for warranty and service use. Brake roughness, pulsation
and steering wheel nibble will occur when rotors wear unevenly (thickness variation). This article specifically addresses brake roughness, pulsation and
steering wheel nibble resulting from disc brake rotor thickness variation induced by rotor runout.
ACTION:
Use Rotunda On-Vehicle Brake Lathes 104-00129, 104-00130, 168-00004, or 168-00005 to service vehicles with brake roughness. This method is more
effective because it allows machining of the rotor while it is still mounted on the vehicle. This improves the overall run-out of the assembly.
