IMO I would disassemble the rotor. Check the bearing seat, caliper bolts, and spindle. You got something that's not sitting right. Clean everything, remove pads and see what you have. A warped rotor could do this. Lay it on a good flat surface and use your dial indicator to see if it's flat. You must have one if you checked the run out that close.

It appeared that the rotor was wobbling. In one section, with no break pedal pressure, it was extremely hard to turn the rotor. So, I decided to measure the run out. Drivers Side Rotor Run out = 0.019 Passenger Side Rotor Run out = 0.004 Could anyone tell me what the acceptable tolerance is? Any opinions as to where the run out is coming from? The previous Owner must have replaced these rotors since they and the break pads do not appear to show any wear. Can the rotors be replaced incorrectly to cause this much movement?
