[DML] Re: Steering column vibration when braking

["Welmoed" <welmoedj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dave,

A dumb question from a foreigner (different mother tongue).
In one of the replies this is said
"Measure the rotors for radial run-out".

I'm not sure if I interprete this correctly, but does it mean the rotor may not be centered correctly? If this is not true, what is the actual meaning of "run out" as it also can be a "defective" bearing.

Thanks for explaining this.

Welmoed.
