OK so I'm sitting passenger goin to my in laws for a couple days. As I'm sitting here strolling through pics of my build I notice this pic. Look at the driver side (left side in pic) rotor/hub. Does it look bent or is it just a optical illusion? I'm so eager to go home and look now:doah: its driving me nuts. Probably just the angle of the pic but looking for other opinions.

Something is definately wrong, that left side caliper retaining pin should be perpendicular to the rotor and it's not. Maybe the rotor isn't seating against the hub properly causing the rotor to be cocked slightly?
 
Pictures can throw things the hell off man. Ive had numerous pictures where something looked bent, or where something looked like it was rubbing or hitting something but is clearly fine in real life.

Sure did. Man I feel better though. Thought I was going to need a complete rear end rebuild.
