What is LRO in brakes?
This off-brake calliper drag is greatly affected by lateral run-out (LRO), which is defined as the side-to-side motion of the rotor as it turns on the hub. LRO is most often the result of small inconsistencies in the rotor and vehicle hub that are magnified when combined.
How do I identify my brakes?
On many vehicles, you can see the brake pad through the holes in the wheel. To check the life of the brake pad, you need to determine its thickness. You might need a flashlight to get a good look at the brake pad. If the pads look thin, less than 1/4″, it might be time to get them replaced.
What can happen if a brake disc is too thin?
If the pads are also too thin, the caliper can overextend and the pistons are left unsupported resulting in uneven pressure or failure to retract. This causes brake drag or lock, generating enough heat to evaporate the brake fluid, leafing to total brake failure.
