Yea, that is flush on the hub. It's a manufacturing defect. Probably a batch that was manufactured badly and got mixed in with the ones that passed QC.Quote:

Edit: Might want to put the shaft and nut on and try again to be sure.
My thought last night in chat. Even if it did seperate, it would not wobble like that without feeling it move. He also can see it werbled sitting on the counter.
Not sure I understand what you mean. It can sparate just a bit on one side of the bearing and still feel solid.Quote:

Rock Auto acknowledged that they researched with the manufacturer and the manufacturer says this is a defect on their part and a full refund is in order from Rock Auto as well as a packing slip for all of the powerstop stuff shipped to me.Quote:

What type are you going to get now?
Oh I never bolted the wheel on, I wouldn't do that. I only tightened on a few lugs on the hubs to make the rotors flush on the hubs strictly for testing purposes. Plus if you bolt the wheels on and lower the car on the wheels, the suspension is going to cause the body to move and the wheels are going to go straight into the fenders and in my situation where I don't have the fenders on, that would be super dangerous.Quote:

I know how a wheel acts with no shock attached!
