Got all the front suspension and brakes on the car last weekend, after putting the pads in the front callipers I noticed that when spinning the NS disc the pads and disc were binding. The discs are new OE discs from Renault.
To eliminate the possibility of it being a faulty disc I tried a couple of spares that I have and they were the same.
I had borrowed a micrometer from a friend and measured the face if the hub when spun and it showed that there was an area that was not totally true. I marked the point on the hub where it was and then proceded to try each disc on the hub.
When I bolted up each disc the area that was out of true coincided with where the hub was out of true.
I'm not doubting my measurements what I am wondering is how the hub face can be out of true to this extend. The hub has new bearings, repainted with the paint removed from the flange surfaces. Anyone experienced this before?
Just dont understand how this can be an issue with the hub.
I'm assuming that it may be better to buy a new hub and just swap the bearings over?
By the way, this is the original hub from the car.
