Re: Brake Rotor Replacement '88 Burb 4WD

Okay,

Another question here...

I replaced the rotor after driving out the studs, put new bearings and a seal into it as well, and put the old studs back in as they looked OK.

The rotor was still a little loose on the hub but I thought once I get the hub/rotor assembly back on and bearings adjusted I could tighten the studs and get the remaining play out of the rotor.

Didn't happen. So I tore it all down and drove out the studs and it's off the the auto parts store for new studs to hopefully get the play out.

I am assuming any side play will result in vibration or abnormal wear. Correct?

Edit: Never mind. Got new studs and realized the nut was bottoming out on the stud. Washer and pipe cheater took care of it.

Thanks again.
