Check rear rotor run-off with dial gauge
Hi,
I need to check the rear rotor run-off with a dial gauge Since our cars are RWD, spinning the rotor with hand would be quite a tough job. How would you suggest spinning them so you can take the measurements? Thanks, FFLIP |
Or let me re-phrase the question:
Would it be hard to spin the rotor by hand if both rears are in the air and car in Parking? Would Parking vs neutral make a difference ? On my other 06 sedan, turning them by hand when car was on parking with both wheels suspended was next to impossible. Thanks friends, FFLIP |
IF you DON'T have LSD, then it will turn fine. If you do, you must jack both wheels off the ground.

Thanks for your reply.
I do have LSD (is an automatic '06 sedan, RWD) The problem is that with both sides jacked up, with the transmission in park and foot brake disengaged, the rotors rotate _very_ hard by hand on my '06 one The rear diff oil was changed at 60k - car now has 85k so I don't believe differential is staying in the way. I should have tried with transmission in neutral - will that make a difference you think? thanks, FFLIP

in park, that's correct, must be in neutral
