Default bearing or spindle problem??

upon installing front integra knuckle, i noticed that (w/out axel, no motor in yet) the rotor seems to wobble. in this case, would just need to change the bearing or would i need a new knuckle assembly?

Was the rotor properly fastened? Could the rotor be warped? LMK

Those 2 screws just hold the rotor in place on the assembly line - they are not 'locating' screws, so they can be omitted.

is the rotor wobbling or the hub? if the hub is wobbing inside of the bearing then you would have an issue. if the rotor is slid over the studs and the assembly line screws are not in of course it will wobble until you put the wheel on...

If the wheel is torqued down and you can wobble it, then you need to replace the wheel bearings

That means the hub is probably bent. Replace the hub and bearings.

If you have access to a tool that measures runout, that's the only sure way to tell unless it's really severely bent, then you'll probably see it.
