Thanks Dave. Any updates on your Camaro or did you buy that Mustang by chance?

How was the knock back on the rear after you installed the part from currie?

Any issues with spindle flex/bearings on the front?

Do you know the width of your rear end?
Thanks! I never had pad knock back on the autocross nor most of the turns on a road course. The primary situation where I experienced it was when I had two road course turns 1+g's back to back in opposite directions where I didn't need to break between them. Small quick autocross turns don't do it and single direction road course turns no matter how long or high of G's didn't do it.

Also, I actually had some work done on the spider gears to axle fit as well which may be an even bigger factor in the pad knock back as it was allowing the inner axle ends to move up and down.

As far as I know I didn't have any knockback caused by spindle flex. though I have also had a preload spacer on the spindle bearings since day 1 which is supposed to help. But I'm not expert at this stuff either. I will be sure to post an update the next time I make it to a track where I saw some knockback previously.

Way to go Chad!!!


BTW -- Being mistaken as Sals car.... isn't all bad -- he's one hell of a nice guy and can drive too! So good company to keep.
