Service limit is 0.30mm runout.

Warped rotor, damaged surface, pad material transferred to the disk all common causes of what you describe.

.30 MILLIMETERS, not inches. It's .012". Sorry, had to download the manual. That seemed a little big.

Actually, you are both wrong... A little teasing, but well meant to reduce confusion...

0.30" implies inches signified by the " at the end, so writing 0.30" inches actually spells out as "0.30 inches inches"...

0.30 mm without the " is the correct way to write it out for millimeters... (Also used that way in the manual...)

Typing was never my strong point.

Yes the lateral runout limit is 0.30mm or 0.012"

Thanks for the catch, most would have figured it out, but some may have really been confused.

I'm used to converting the two, so for me it's easy... But the average European wouldn't know the difference, and just assume it was in millimeters...

I don't get it. How is what I wrote incorrect?







J/K, I went back and edited it. Jeez, I'm foggy today!

So, to recap, the run out limit is nearly an eighth of an inch on the front rotors? Sure seems like a bunch!

If the OP will pay shipping I have a set of used rotors I took off of the wheels I had redone. Might be straight, might not be. 2 fronts and one rear. Not too heavily grooved and plenty of thickness left.

Err no, not correct. Bad recap....
1/8" = 0.125
the lateral runout limit is .012"

Twelve thousandths of an inch is a lot less than One Hundred, twelve thousandths of an inch.
Like say .113" less

Typing REALLY isn't your strong suit is it?

I thought nearly an eighth was a lot of slop.

0.3 mm = 0.011811"
