But this was the part of the article that piqued my interest. I'm not driving on these rotors until they are damn-near perfectly true. Quote:

Time for someone to invent a braking system that doesn't require rotors, pads, calipers, and hydraulic fluid.

I hear the Tesla Autopilot is so magical it will automagically add/reduce brake pressure to match the out of true condition so passengers, i mean drivers, won't be bothered by the peas under their mattresses.

0.09" of runout.
That's the max of what they say you can shim. Last edited by rumatt; 09-27-2018 at 04:52 PM. |

Now the only problem is that I can't find anyone who makes shims for bmw. Summit racing has some that might work but I have to call back when the supplier is open to confirm. Oh and they don't make 0.009 shims. Stacking a 0.003 and a 0.006 sounds like an excellent idea to me.
How am I the only person in the world with this problem? I think I might just buy new wheel bearings/hubs and see if that fixes it. Last edited by rumatt; 09-27-2018 at 07:55 PM. |
