That’s been the gospel with me too hahahaIf it has the correct number of holes, on it goes!
It was a very interesting rabbit hole to go down. Almost made me think if the guys making the brake rotor runout shims were the ones that came up with the idea
Absolutely. Are on car brake lathes becoming more popular?
For your vehicle’s particular specs I would refer to the FSM or repair manual.

Been very common for the last 20 years at the dealer level. It is usually required if rotors are machined under warranty. Even BMW has begun to allow/require on car brake lathes in lieu of rotor replacement on many models.
Funny you mentioned that… The more I dove into the whole thing, I learned that inadequate brake deposit transfer is the leading cause to pulsating brakes.. You learn something new everyday!
you’ll be surprised just how “loose” the allowable runout tolerance is for 2000 Camry’s rear rotors..Clamping Dial Indicator
Amazing deals on this Clamping Dial Indicator at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.
Usually .0015” or less for front rotors, a lot of cars are now under .001”

I'll let the test drive tell me if there's an operational problem.If it has the correct number of holes, on it goes!
Toyota has very loose tolerances for the rear rotors. For comparison, this is my Ram truck - 0.0008":
At first the piston will move with the rotor. Over time it will translate to thickness variation once the rotor is worn unevenly.
Same here man, it’s just interesting learning about the finite details that go into everything. Just like how the fellas on this will into full-on mode with UOA’s!
