centric 2pc brake issue! please help!
i recieved the centric 2pc fromt brake kit for my 05 150 2x4. i installed the driver side when i noticed the rotor was facing the wrong direction
anyways i fixed everything and spun the rotor by hand but it was "wobbly" i switched to the other hub/rotor and everything is was perfect....
-now 3 days later ( i work alot so time is hard to come by) i start the passenger side (same hub and rotor as previouslt used) yet the same "wobble" in the rotor is occuring. its not even a small abount it gets to the point the rotor hits the caliper bracket and stops. i attached a video of whats happening...
-anyone else experience this? im leaning towards it being the hub but it also could be the rotor. the seller cais to contact them if anything is wrong but id rather do as much trouble shooting as possable before i deal with sending parts back and forth.

the main nut was torqued down completely and rotors were in tight, the vid is with the calipers off. i did nothing different on this side that i did on the driver side, i did judt use a straight edge and the rotor is straight, however i did notice a "bubble" (cant see by eye) only a cople MM but enough that i could pivit my straight edge on, which was on the face of the hub from one edge under one of the lugs and to the other edge.
If the calipers and wheel are off what do you expect to hold the rotor on???? Put your calipers, pads on and wheels on and it will be fine. Isn't that the reason you ordered the two piece kit was so the rotor wouldn't be attached anymore. Now your truck is setup like any 4x4 truck and 90% of all other vehicles on the road. Your wheel holds them tight once your lug nuts are properly torqued (100ftlbs). Also I hope you didn't over tighten or under tighten the single nut (300lbft) for the hub (bearing). Either can cause premature bearing failure. Hope this helps.

I replaced my rotors with the one piece rotor/hub assembly and completed the passenger side just like the driver side. When I test drove I had a horrible shake when braking. Turned out that the pass side bearings were bad from factory! SMH
