Some radial runout is OK but there's not much tolerance. You may want to
re-pack the bearings and torque them; they're probably worn a bit and
need to be 'fiddled'.
After that you can check the runout with a dial depth gauge mounted so
that you can get a min-max reading off the rotor. I can't cough up the
numbers you need to know right now, maybe someone else can.
