How am I supposed to check the run-out and makes sure its true? Can I get one that will work...how much $$ can I expect to shell out for one. Thanks for your quick replies Picasso I appreciate your help and time to respond.  |
I have always wondered how slotted or drilled rotors are measured for runout. Some one with more experience than I will have to answer this one.
Calling a performance auto parts store or a dealership that sells sports cars, initially comes to mind. A dealership will probably cost more than Midas wanted to charge though.
Keep us posted.
