Help!! .....Gen1 brat front rotor rubbing

Featured Replies

Thank You Brian....(subarujunkie) for bringing me out the cone washer!!

 

 

after replacing with all new front end parts

i tighten the axle and its causes the rotor to rub the brake pad hanger

 

any ideas?

 

Thanks for your help!!

Wrong bearing, or no/wrong spacer between the bearings?

How hard of a rub is it, is it just touching or is it digging in deep?

Just a basic question, but are you sure it is not the slight, but normal brake pad drag? What I mean is that the brake rotor does not rotate freely, but touches the pads slightly. Welder may be spot on with the spacer point as well.

It could have something to do with Brian :grin:.

 

After we did the rear discs on my hatch, it was dragging pretty gnar.

Was the pads. A hundred miles or so it went away.

well after looking at my other brat i notice that the new rotors are 1/8" thicker....grrrrr:mad:

this is causing the rotor to hit the brake pad hanger and stops the rotor from spinning

 

 

anyone have this issue or seen this problem with the older gens?
