90, 900turbo wheel/hub problem

Really only two things - either the new disk is warped/fitted incorrectly (all it takes is a tiny amount of dirt on the mating surfaces), or the wheel bearing is not square in it's housing.

Not the CV, or anything else.

Easy to determine by removing the disk and using a dial gauge on the hub to check for runout.

Oh- i should clarify one thing- when the wheel is turned 180 degrees, that one wheel will scrub the left side of it's caliper, then 180 later, the right side of it's caliper... like the wheel wobles between it's caliper.

Make more sense?

No, makes a lot less sense. Is the wheel rubbing on the caliper, or the brake disk rubbing on the caliper? You said one then the other.

Wheel bearing sounds more like it. It comes and goes, but has slowly been going on more and more. and I cleaned everything down pretty well when putting the new discs on the front. I'd guess it's about 1-3 mm of shimmy between the pads, but that's certainly been enough to gimp up both of my front tires. Both are losing their outside edges from the sideways push-pull exerted on them (long drive to work each day).

So should I just replace the bearings, or is there a series of stuff i should go ahead and do while I'm in that area?

Side to side movement?? That's *huge*.

Jack it up, grab the wheel, and shake it about. Does it move at all? If yes, then replace the bearing.

I'd be tempted to replace both CV boots while you're in there, since you're gonna remove the hub carrier anyway.
