samiam4,

As I detailed in the description, I basically did construct a makeshift dial indicator and have confirmed that there is a runout, I just don't know an exact number - but anything totalling "some" or more is too much. I did the same process on the hub and did confirm that the high spot matches on the hub in the same spot in the rotation as the rotor. The difference here was much smaller, too small in fact to be seen - I could only hear a difference in the drag on the contact surface.

I'd love to hear your other theories (outside of the hub and rotor) because I could be way off base.

I guess I did forget one significant point that is that I do get a constant mild shimy out of that wheel at highway speeds. I have always figured that if the rotor and/or hub has a wobble to it, so would the wheel.

Any further thoughts?

Thanks again to all,

Pete
