Brake Align Runout Correction Plates - Training Video

Brake Align correction plates (shims) for lateral runout

[@hayksamvelyan]

This is a revolutionary perspective for DIY brake job replacements. I never heard about the importance of checking runout in any of the DIY youtube videos and I've been having issues with rotor vibrations ever since I started doing brake by myself. I've always just resorted to replacing the rotor and pads, when that happened, and assumed that the rotors were simply of poor quality. Now I know better and I am ordering a runout gauge to check my HUBs and rotors and see what's really going on. Great stuff!

That's pretty sweet! A shade-tree can use those an get the benefits of a full Pro-Cut on-car lathe.

nOw that was fk'n clear! That's how you do training videos! Once again, KZbin University does it again...

From what i remember from going to Tech school is that there can be two things wrong here. 1- what was the runout before machining and was the rotor set up on the lathe to be the same runout as was on the vehicle? 2- what is the condition of the wheel bearings, are they part of the problem and getting wore out? Yes rotors can warp by heat due to long periods of brake application time and from improper torquing of the lug nuts but this also has to be taken in when servicing the brakes. IE. i did not see the tech on the video check runout of the hub assembly as well to see if it was rotor or hub issue. These may have some value but why is there 0.006 runout on a machined rotor? Doesn't compute with me, something was done, or is wrong with the big picture.

great information, thanks so much

[@alphastarcar]

Excellent!

[@bigpardner]

Why not at least try reinstalling the rotor at 180 degrees difference and check it again?

[@acoustic4037]

I thought the same thing. It could be just a bad rotor. I got a bad rotor from the parts store. Plus this method ignores the stack up. The rotor has some runout and the car hub also, so perhaps you can turn the rotor to meet it's high spot with the hub low spot to fix it with out this shim.

@@acoustic4037 the purpose of this video is to correct runout using correction plates.

[@NETWizzJbirk]

Because you can’t. Your options are 144 or216 being every stud is 72 degrese

[@CoolAirVw]

Put the runout gauge on the hub?

[@mr.lawrence6627]

J Lynam missed the point, even with true rotors (.002 max. runout), in many cases the face of the associated hub may not be true (virtually no runout), hence, causing lateral runout which will be magnified to a calculable degree at the rotor face. It's kinda like love and marriage. You can't have one without the other.

3:05 What difference does it make if you spin it counter-clockwise?

Its bad carma

[@randyc5650]

It seems like the hub is the problem.

un inventing the brake- to sell more junk and cause more shoptime

[@garyfarris1370]

This is so wrong on so many levels, I don't know where to begin. Hopefully your brake voodoo ceremony is no longer in business.

[@lynam100]

Seems like a waste of time. Why not just replace the rotor?

[@nhanlm0601]

Sometimes the hub surface is the cause or lateral runout, replacing rotor will not fix
