ok, now i have the attention of the free world, i have a question.
i swaped the front axle out of my 85XJ for a newer D30 ( i dont know the year of the donor ) and had to use the rotors off the 85 axle and they didnt seem to want to fit right but with a little purswasion they went on but now i have a rumble, a really loud and BAD rumble from the front, ideas of what it is and fixes are welcomed and asked for.
i was told the older rotors were just slightly different than the newer ones, this being ( i assume ) true, and the cause of the rumble,should i buy new rotors? $21 a piece but the old rotors are in excelent condition.
should i put the pepboys 1/4 inch spacers behind the rotor and go with it? this would alow the rotors to sit evenly on the hub, all be it a quarter inch from where they are supposed to be.
should i swap out the hubs and keep the rotors and hubs matched, this is a little more work but it is the cheapest option. ( two cotter keys and some time )
these are what i have so far and i wanted the ideas of you wise and knowledgable :: XJ mech types.
thanks.
