Rotor runout should be zero, any runout is NOT what pulls the piston back.

The deformation of the square section caliper bore seal is what brings the piston back. The pads only move in thousands.

If you have runout pushing the pads back, you have brake shudder, and a long brake pedal, severity of either depends on the runout value.
