Bucky92 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I know alot of you have done the rear drum to disk swap on your 4WD subes...but what about a FWD one??What do I want to pull the parts off of? I am tired of Buckys intermittent brake failure ( we almost ate a jeep today) and I feel it has to do with the rears.If he is going to be laid up for awhile I might as well change them out. TIA!

Turbone Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 You need the rotors from a 2wd rig. I used to have a set, I'll try and look for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Or you could put the control arm off of a 4wd one and leave the axel stub sticking out. I would think that 4wd rear disks are a lot more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 ditto that. Plus you'd be half-prepped for a 4WD swap! (I didn't know bucky was a 2WD! ) Or you could put the control arm off of a 4wd one and leave the axel stub sticking out. I would think that 4wd rear disks are a lot more common.

(I didn't know bucky was a 2WD! ) This is another thing I am contiplating..but with over 200K on his motor and the extra weight of the 4WD stuff....and the fact it will slow him down...not that he isnt slow already...but it is still a possibility....and baccauda...where have you been?? :lol: geesh only been a member here since 2004 and its in my sig... :Flame: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROGDOR! Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Check the XT's at Harry's. Most XT GL's had rear discs. Same exact job as a 4WD disc swap, just make sure your donor is a 2WD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Need to have the donor be from a 2wd turbo. Everything on the 4WD is the same except the hub and the backing plate are different on the 2WD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 If you find a 2WD turbo - check to see if it has a rear swaybar. If so, you might want to take the control arms and all so you get the swaybar too. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
