Problem Solved... Rusty Wheel Hubs

idk who needs to hear this, but clean the mating surface of the wheel hubs where the rotor mounts when swapping them.. I had a minor buildup of rust around the hub and was causing the rotor to be about .5 to 1.0 mm of offset at an angle.. car rides so much better as a result of removing it and remounting at the correct angle.

Thanks for this; damn rust.

I always coat the hub with a light rub of wd-40 if I remove the rotors. Seems to keep the rust away for longer.
