Brakes - Pulsations Caused By Front Rotors

Number 85-5-3 Date 2/85
Subject: BRAKE PULSATIONS CAUSED BY FRONT ROTORS

ALL MODELS
We have heard of some instances regarding brake pulsations being repaired by turning the rotors. However, in these instances, there is no mention that the knuckle-to-caliper clearance, as outlined in the service manuals and service bulletin 85-5-1 was checked. We suspect that the knuckle-to-caliper clearance is not being checked. It is essential that the clearance as specified be obtained, or a repeat of this condition may occur.
