Re: [DML] brake runout specs (revisited)

I'd like to agree with you on this point. I've been watching your posts on
this issue ,however not commenting as I am still in the process of a brake
rebuilt. I have put brand new discs on the back and still get a 'wobble' on
the drivers side, I thought at first the drive axel was bent! I have now
actually had two 'E Brake' pads come apart on that disc.

If you solve the issue please let me know.

Thanks
Paul
