1965 –82 Rear Rotor & Spindle Match

At the factory, the rotor and rear spindle were riveted together, then the rotor faces were machined to insure the run out of the rotor face was kept to a minimum. Many Corvettes have had the rotor rivets removed and the rotor removed loosing its clocking with the spindle. The results is a problem called “pumping air” which takes place after you bleed the rear brakes. The caliper pistons shuttle back and forth with every rotor rotation due to rotor face run out pumping air into the rear brake system causing a loss of pedal. This service assembles your rotor and spindle and trues the face of the rotor to GM specifications eliminating this problem.
