Disc Brakes -> PBR Single Piston Rear Disc Brake -> Troubleshooting -> Brake Roughness
Vehicle: 1996 Chevrolet Caprice Classic 5.7 V8 GAS

If roughness or vibration is encountered during highway operation or if pedal pulsation is experienced at low speeds, the disc may have excessive thickness variation. To check for this condition, measure the disc at 12 points with a micrometer at a radius approximately one inch from edge of disc. If thic...
