Also measure the pads when installed for parallel. Measure one side then the other. The difference should be no more than 0.15mm. Then measure top to bottom. This seems like where your problem may be.


Yea, that really needs to be done. And the rotors need to be measured.

Ckeching for caliper spread is going to be tough because you can only measure the rough casting. And if the calipers are spreading under pressure and returning when you let off, no way to really tell.

IF, the pistons are cocking in the bore, you may get an idea of how much by applying the brakes hard when stopped, then remove the caliper very carefully from the disc without moving the pistons. Chect the top and bottom of the piston surface where it contacts the pad with a snap gage. But, it still might not show much.

if the caliper is cocked in any way, the wear pattern on the front of the disc should be in a different location from the rear surface.
