Following method is adapted to measure the brake
disc run out on wheel end assembly
(LH and RH
Side)
of Front Axle Assembly.
1. Attach the dial indicator on the base stand on
which wheel end assembly is securely mounted.
2. Adjust the dial stand in such a way that the direc-
tion of the tip of dial indicator is parallel to
direction of the movement of the brake disc while
checking run out.
3. Ensure that brake disc surface is clean and dial
indicator tip touching to brake disc on circle of Di-
ameter ≈ 280mm from wheel end centre line.
4. Rotate the brake disc while watching the dial indi-
cator needle movement; record the maximum
value shown on the dial indicator. This value
equals to brake disc run out.
