Full Version: Brake rotor has play????
99% sure that that is normal. you want the rotor to be able to float a little bit. usually one side of the brake pads moves more then the other and when that pad wears the rotor needs to float to meet up accordingly.

thanks. have you found out for sure?
Yes, Jordan is correct.
The rotor moves around some. Definately there is side to side movenent, not a huge amount but some for sure. The splines should be fairly tight though. If you have quite a bit of slop or movement in the splines this could be a bad sign. 1/8" to 1/16" sounds like a normal amount of movement.
