Brake Rotor/Disc: Technical Service Bulletins
Pulsation

Brake pulsation concerns may result from two basic conditions:

1.

Thickness variation.

2.

Excessive corrosion.

Rotor thickness variation is the result of uneven rotor wear caused by excessive lateral runout (>0.076 mm; >0.003 in.). Lateral runout can be induced
by:

1.

Distortion of the braking surface by applying uneven and/or excessive wheel nut torque.

(This could be the result of a recent tire change, rotation, etc.).

2.

Improperly refacing rotors.
