BRAKES

During measurement, confirm the dial gauge
probe should be approx. 10 mm from the outer
edge of the brake rotor, perpendicular to the disc
and under slight preload.
Check front wheel bearing for looseness before
face runout measurement.
The control of the braking surface finish is
necessary to avoid pulls and erratic performance.
It will also help in extending pad life.
