I checked my hubs because of the shimmy problem and found the right
front to have over .055" runout. My question is how best to true it.

I asked a machinist at work about chucking on the inside of the hub bore
where the inside bearing presses in. He didn't think it would work and
suggested I mount it on the car and use a die grinder to even it out.

If I go to an automotive machine shop, will they know how to tackle
this?

Can someone tell me how to tell them to do it?

Should I just try the die grinder with the hub on the car?

We have a long warm weekend coming up, so I'm anxious to figure this
out.

Thanks,
Curt
