I'm in the process of swapping from drums to disks using liberty parts. After remaning and painting all the JY parts, not to mention rebuilding the diff :flamemad: I seem to be running in to a problem where the centering hub will not ride on the stock wheels anymore it sits back because the rotors are thicker than the drums, will this be a problem? My understanding is that I wouldn't want all the weight riding on the studs versus spreading the weight out on to the axle? I've been diving into the forums but so far I haven't seen anyone mention this (except below) as a concern. Am I just overthinking this? I'd post a picture, but I don't have that ability.
Nice writeup...I am in process of doing a similar swap. 97CV on XJD44.
I have noticed that the disks are thicker than the drums... Does the thickness of the rotor move the wheel/tire off the very center hub of the axle? I found that I can stick a feeler gauge in to about .006.
Has anybody else noticed this ?
