Aw, no, just another acknowledgemnt of DCs' sterling brake quality these
days!

My '01 GC developed a bad brake chatter at about 7k, didn;t gripe about it
until; about 18k at which point they replaced both fron calipers & rotors
with the new style units. 3k later....thump, thump, thum, all over again. I
always make sure the wheels are torqued evenly to factory spec, that didn;t
make a bit of difference. (FWIW, 85-110 ft lbs is too broad a range, so I
just split the difference. and make sure they're all the same) . Next stop,
aftermarket iron rotors.

|| Hello,

||

If you had gotten a different set of rims with the proper backspacing,
rubbing would not have been an issue.

When I got the tires at Discount Tire, I asked them if I needed any
modification to run this size tire. They said no and put them on the stock
rim. No mention of new rims or backspacing. Thanks for the info.
