Just if you wanted to waste some time checking the disc before you consigned it to the bin. I guess if you took the disc off you'd be able to tell if it was out of true anyway.
Just spit balling since I'm no mechanic.
That is indeed the general idea, you move the disc to try and confirm that it the disc at fault, rather than the caliper for instance.
But to do this you cable tie the other caliper out of the way so you are just using the left one, so that there's no confusion.
If it doesn't judder, then you know the disc is okay, so now you are looking at the caliper, brake line, etc.
For a new brake disc you're looking at a minimum £120 each for a half decent one, or you can buy 2nd hand but there's always that small chance you could be buying another problem.
So unfortunately you just have to be patient and start the slow process of testing things through a process of elimination, otherwise it can become an expensive nightmare, as i found out.
This all brings back bad memories..... :'(
