terribleturner Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 I just spoke to Power Engineering down the road from me and they said they do them while they are on the car. That's 3 times now they've mucked me about, no more i say NO MORE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 on the car? im no engineer, but how do they keep them steady?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 on the car? im no engineer, but how do they keep them steady?! put the wheel nuts on. the only reason that they would do them on the car is to allow for hub runout. i recently had mine done off the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 put the wheel nuts on. the only reason that they would do them on the car is to allow for hub runout. i recently had mine done off the car but the discs would need skimming to some pretty tight tolerance, im not sure that bearing movement, wheel on steering movement etc would be a solid base to machine from...like i say, no expert, but id do them off the car - if at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 You drive a Supra - I'd say get new discs and keep things as safe as you can. It's not like they cost the earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like they cost the earth. mine were a temporary fix and i could get it done for nothing. i cant see anything wrong with it as long as everything is kept within tolerances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
