Pull a wheel off, and rig a way to place a stationary object very close to the rotor surface, near the edge. Then rotate the hub while observing the gap between the object and the rotor. You should be able to see a varying gap if the rotor is warped. Be sure to check both sides. Larry '82 diesel-->Jetta Westy |
