Front Rotor Replacement

Postby Telf » Tue Oct 08, 2013 11:07 am

Hi all, how easy is it to replace the front rotors on my 06 Wagon. Also where is the best / cheapest place to get them from. The reason im asking is that mine have the wobbles when breaking. Im trying to way up weather or not to get them machined or just go new.
Cheers Telf

Easy.
Wheels off, 2 bolts that hold the caliper to the knuckle, push the pads back abit (or get new and push the pistons back in), old rotor off.

RDA are cheap and decent.
DBA are good.
