View Full Version : There's a lot of slop in brake rotors, how they really be centered?

I remember how much slop there was in the rotors when installing my rear 4-piston Wilwood calipers in the Cobra. I don't remember about the fronts.

I just replaced the pads and rotors in my Tacoma for the 5th time in 15 years. I've tried a few brands: The cheap Pep Boys ones, the premium Pep Boys ones, Genuine Toyota, & Brembo

The rotors move on the lug nuts a good 3/32 of an inch or so. That seems like a lot to me, and the inside flange of the wheel is flat - it's not like it's tapered and it centers the rotor as you tighten down the lug nuts.

No, there aren't any problems, but the whole thing seems strange to me.

Most wilwood kits come with a specific centering ring. An old trick I use to use was buy an o-ring that fill the gap

OK well I am very confused. This was for my Tacoma and again, WOW are those rotors loose!
