2. Rotate the rotor until the highest reading is displayed on the dial.
3. Measure and record the amount of sealed wheel bearing play, then subtract the bearing play from the lateral runout recorded to obtain the true

amount of lateral runout.

12. Compare the lateral runout of the brake rotor to the following specification:

Brake rotor maximum allowable lateral runout 0.051 mm (0.002 in).
