I've recently swapped axles from my '87 XJ into my '01 model, but kept the '01 calipers. Now I'm getting annoying rasping/grinding sounds that become even louder and more aggravating when turning. I think this may be due to the rotor coming into contact the dust protector, or maybe the caliper contacting the rotor. Are the '01 calipers compatible with the '87 rotors?
I've pushed the dust protector in as much as I could w/o removing the calipers and rotors and doing a more complete job of it, but it didn't reduce the grinding noises much. With the tires off, if I pull the rotor away from the dust protector just a fraction and then rotate the wheel, the noise is almost completely gone.
Has anyone else ever run into this? Any suggestions about what it might be, or how to remedy?
