900 RR Front rotor question - play in rotor
This might sound stupid and that the answer is "duhhh",
but check out the video of the play in my front rotors.
here's the low down. I had a bent front rotor so i had a brake pulse. so i bought a set of racing rotors off ebay. they came, and when you held the hub of the rotor & wiggled the rotor itself, it moved. one alot more than the other. check out the video I made & see the play for yourself. The guy i bought em from was like "yeah, they are free floating rotors & are supposed to have play in them to eliminate vibration". So i put them on & tried them out. sure as anything, they vibrate & sound like im jiggling a pocket full of loose change.
Now im no rocket scientist - but that is the biggest crock of crap i've heard in a while - & i sell used cars so i know BS.
Let me know what you think:
