That's so weird, I just got back from my friends and you're right, i've honestly never seen a setup like that. Ever!


Glad some of the noise went away, and yeah, about the sensor - you're so right, I broke mine. Abs light is lit, but, I have another sensor that has a cut wire, gonna repair+heat wrap it tomorrow and install it.

ooh also whats the torque spec for the rear brake rotor? i just tightened it down enough so the rotor wont move... then loosened it barely enough for it to move freely........ if thats wrong lemme know now, cuz thats how the rotor was when i got to it... it was already moving (spinning) freely

Will find out the torque spec tomorrow, and I'll also have him come on these forums and give a walk through for the inner, because apparently he has changed it before.

I'd say the center bolt should be snugged, not free-spin loose, but we'll find out. Don't want to give you any more wrong information with your odd bearing setup! Haha.


He should post by noon, sent him a message on aim.

Haha definitely a possibility, don't quote me on it until my friend hops in the thread. You could try snugging the bolt and seeing if the noise changes.

just curious how was i an ***? anyways i went on alldata and mitchell online and neither of them had it... so i went to the suspension tech and he suggested hand tight then 180 degree turn... its snug on there but still spins so im content with that... i compared it to the other rotor and its the same so ill live with that

DOES ANYONE HAVE AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION!!!!!!! or is this gonna be voice your opinon day
When someone gives you their experience and doesn't quite answer your question that doesn't give you the right to be an *** hat. Its not polite etiquette to use on a public forum either because you can hide behind a computer where someone can't defend thier position physically. Like i would...
