Just finished installing new hubs on my new old axle. The axle is an 86 with 4.10s, and the hubs I installed were from TAPCO. The previous hubs on the axle were from a TJ and thus used TJ rotors and the stock calipers for propper clearence with the steering knuckle.
Well, the new hubs, after inspection with the new hubs installed we found that they were about an 1/8-1/4 shorter in overall length. So the TJ rotors rub on the knuckle when the wheel is torqued down. This pressure is so intense that the wheels are locked and the vechicle cannot roll, even when give gas. We then tried my old 91 rotors from the 91 axle, and while they didn't rub as much, they still rubbed on the knuckle.
So my question is, to those with experiance, will the stock rotors off am 86 have enough clearence to allow the vehicle to roll? I really need to get the Jeep moving, so any information would be great.
TIA
