Thanks Shep.
I did check only one spot since the rotors seemed in good shape visually.
That was when I still suspected runout but when I checked runout, it was
within spec (0.0028 inches).
In hind sight, I should have mic'd the rotors in multiple spots. I did put
a vernier caliper on the rotor but all that did was get the high spot.
I think I'll remove the wheels and mic the rotors in multiple spots again
but this time I think I'll remove the caliper (it's only four bolts ...
these Toyota 4-piston front calipers are beautiful to work on) so I can get
a good spot on the rotor.
Come to think of it, I may as well remove the rotor itself if I remove the
caliper as there is nothing holding them on (it's a 2WD 4Runner) at that
point. Then I can mic it all over the place.
Thanks for the advice, I know what I'll be doing this Saturday!
