e. Excessive lateral play of discs - I don't understand this one. Unless it is meaning that the rotors are too thin or can move on the hubs. But in our case the rotor is the hub. Excessive lateral play means the disk is moving too much side to side. Assuming the wheels are pointed straight ahead, the disc should remain in a vertical plane parallel to the centerline of the car. Too much lateral play can be caused by a warped disc or loose or damaged bearings which allow the disc to move too much left to right. Too much left to right movement of the disc will push the brake caliper piston too far back into the housing which will require more pedal travel to push the piston back out. |
