Hello guys! What could be the possible reason why my rotor seems to be moving to the left then goes back in middle? Is it because the rotor is bent or could it be possible that my wheel is out of true?
Rotor is bent. Pretty common. If it’s not squealing, I prolly wouldn’t worry about it. It’s really not a big deal.

Yeah they warp or get bent, you can use the jaws of a clean adjustable wrench to true (bend) them back into a straighter shape, but it takes a while to learn how much force to use, go slow or take it to a shop.
If it’s not rubbing on the pads it does not matter.

If you don’t hear any rubbing, just leave it as it is.

Rotors warp. It can come from dragging the brakes on long descents or it could have bent in the box or packaging. There are rotor trying tools for this but it requires some finess. Agree with others though- if itโs not rubbing leave it alone.ย
