So I bought the clamping dial indicator from Harbor Freight and measured the runout on my new front rotors. I used a feeler gauge to validate the dial indicator. My thinnest feeler gauge was .002" and the dial indicator read .002".

Max runout is .0014" which is not much. I was just over .001 on my passenger side and .002 on the divers side. I pulled the divers side rotor and changed positions with respect to the hub a few times and got it down close to .001".

I wish I had the dial indicator before I pulled my old rotors off so I could have measured the runout on them because I did have some brake vibration on the track that I do not think was a pad bedding issue.

For people who have measured their runout after having brake vibration, how much runout did you have?
