Default Sounds like wheel weights

Kramer which size rotors are you running and what size rims are on the car? If you have 15" wheels and 12.0" rotors, the wheel weights will hit the caliper if they are stacked. Easy way is to just pull wheel and check for shining spots on weights or caliper. How much play is in wheel on this side of car? If you grap the top and bottom of the wheel there should be no more than 1/8" play top to bottom. If more, repack wheel bearings and adjust. Everyone has a different way to adjust bearings. Some use torque wrench, some use feel method, some go with luck. I use feel. Take nut down my hand, ( this is with bearings repack) rotate rotor until play is gone and then backoff to closest cotter pin opening in spindle. Your done. Bend both ends in different dictionals to lock nut. Road test and recheck. Too tight a bearing is as bad as too loose. Good luck Rick L.
