brake discs has a runout so are not truely flat, this is push the brake pads back into the calliper slightly when you are not applying the brake,
Not strictly true, If there is any run-out it would do as you say but not how disk brake systems are supposed to work. Pads are normally retracted by the piston sealing ring restoring itself from its deformed shape that it takes up when it grips the piston as it moves forward. The amount of piston movement when brakes are applied is quite small so don't need to move back far to clear the disk surface. Untrue disks and less than perfect wheel bearings can 'knock-back' pads so that next time the brake is applied the extra clearance has to be taken up resulting in more pedal travel. Ian P |
