Hi I have been lurking a while and have found most of what i need for my 01 220. However, I havent been able to come up with search results regarding the amount of float in the rotor.
I can tell the the rotor is floating and it almost seems like too much. Just eyeballing the play, the float in the rotor allows the wheel to move 1/8th to 1/4th of in inch as measured at the outer diameter of the tire. It also makes an audible click (or light clunk) at the limits of the movement. This is as measured on the stand with the front brake depressed, while moving the wheel fore and aft by hand.
Intuitively, I would think that I shouldnt get any free play when moving the wheel by hand. How much free play should the rotor be allowed.
Am i being paranoid? Or do i have a legitimate gripe?
