Just had my DTI on my rear brake discs to try and find my vibration through the seat problem which seems to appear above 60/70mph. Drivers side runs out 1.5mm and passenger side 1mm.....anyone know the tolerances? i think they are well out and are the cause.

Disc run out or warped disc are only felt when braking. if there all the time it could be propshaft center brearing or the engine mounts
