Default Issue with rear passenger brake rotor wobble/drag

Hi,

My 2002, is having issues with the rear brake rotor making contact unevenly. I replaced the pads and rotor and the issue continues. It drags for about 30 degrees of the rotor and for the rest of the rotor it is good. I seems to me that either the knuckle or hub is warped. What would be the next steps I should take? I am not stock height but I am Tein and LHT said for ride height, I am not slammed. Would this be a good option for fix it fast to make the wife happy? Also can someone please explain the 20mm verse 30mm options for the ball joint?

That would be a pretty bad option to fix anything fast, J's racing parts usually have a long wait, like multiple months. Best would be to just order new OEM parts from Honda or your preferred OEM part distributor.

People put CRV hubs on as stronger and less $

Make sure there isn't any rust or anything on hub surface. Where rotor interfaces to hub. That would cause rotor to sit crooked.

Lets focus on one problem at a time...

Are your wheels on and torqued to spec?

Did you line up the brake pad stub with the caliper piston slots?

Its not unusual for newly installed brakes to drag on specific spots.

Did you actually drive the car like this, and is there an actual issue with the braking?

If there is/was an actual issue, what started it? You said this was the case on your old brakes. Did you hit a curb? Or were the rotors rusted? Or??


Can you be more descriptive of just this issue?
