When trailing arms are rebuilt do they...?

This is our standard procedure if the customer wants rotors on their freshly rebuilt trailing arms (rivets are optional, as not everyone wants them). The only reason a rebuilder wouldn't remove runout by machining the rotors would be because they don't have an on-car lathe, and this is probably the same reason that some people are using shims between the spindle and rotor. Checking the runout on the spindle with a dial indicator and making sure it is within tolerance is a must in this process before machining and making the spindle and rotor true to each other. If ever you have a special request regardless of the vendor you're thinking of using, it doesn't hurt to ask if they can fulfill that request.
