I dont remember the clearance being so close when I took it all apart.
Is this normal? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i366.photobucket.com-10819-1401940546.1.jpg) I can only fit about a .001 feeler between the rotor and the caliper on the outer side. This is a 71 with what I thought we determined was a late front strut. When I tried the early rotors, you could not even get close to putting the caliper on. Now with the "late" rotor, the caliper just barely clears. I thought maybe the wheel bearing wasnt seated all the way, but I re/over-torqued the nut to see if it needed to pull in any more, but that didnt help. |

Stu,
It appears to be a bearing issue. What bearings did you use? We've seen el cheapo aftermarket bearings (can't remember the name, starts with a K and in a greenish box) with improper inner race dimensions. Verify again that your inner race is pressed in completely to the seat. Also, try fitment without the outer bearing in place. It will be wobbly at the end of the spindle but, it should let you know if there's an issue with the inner (most likely) or outer bearing. Let us know the results. Also, let us know what bearings you used. |
