d60 brake problem

[dan johnson]

i just finished converting my drw d60 to a srw and now my brakes don't seem to line up i'll add i also did new king pins @ bearings so i had everything apart,did i put something together wrong or are the calipers or mounting brackets different in a srw front thanx in advance

Are your caliper mounts are on backwards?? Brackets and calipers are the same for DRW or SRW.

are they supposed to offset in or out, i offset mine in i was afraid maybe thats what i did wrong this is my first d60. probally should have paid more attention when i took it apart

Is that RTV silicone between the steering arm and bottom of the block? If so, you should take those back off and clean them off. There should NOT be anything of the such on there.

X2 The stuff could breakdown and cause the steering arm the become loose and possibly break the bolts.

This was just discussed in Mannys thread. It is acceptable to put a small amount between these things and let it squeeze out. As per Mannys thread- it calls for it in the ORD instructions. Either way I am going crossover in the next couple weeks so it'll all be tore down again.
