Reddit reviews Fowler - 72-520-757 Economy Disc Brake Rotor and Ball Joint Gauge Set

So I replaced one of my knuckles years ago and I suspected something wasn't quite perfect. I usually replace pads or rotors separately as they wear out so the issue showing itself in the form of uneven thickness wearing of the rotors (commonly mislabeled as "warping"), took a long time to appear if at all. But this summer I went on a road trip and put brand new rotors and pads on at the same time, stretching the calipers/slides to their max. By the end of the trip, the front right had noticeable dust buildup and there was steering shake under braking.

I've been accumulating tools for a while so it was time to tackle this without replacing the hub.

Tools I used:

• Dewalt DCF890B Impact plus rare 21mm deep 3/8 socket made removing and installing the lugs over and over easy. A bit of lube on the threads helped too. I opted for the slightly larger 21mm socket over the 13/16" because it fits the lugs on the Miata better.

• Ampro T29771 1/2 ratchet my go to breaker bar, which I can fairly accurately torque things to ~90lbs by feel.
  
  
• NAPA 3 thousands shim or NAPA 6 thousands shim you can get these several places but I wanted to be able to easily return them if needed. I used the 6.
  
  
• Gorilla 70027B (12mm x 1.25 thread)(21mm or 13/16" external) open ended lugs
  
  Most of my purchases were through Amazon Warehouse Deals and I paid 50% - 70% list price, some times with the help of camelcamelcamel.com

At least it's not masquerading as a precision tool.
