Default Draglite prob after 12 bolt install.

like it sayes i had the draglite mounted and on for a about two years. After all the gringing and spacers. Well just did the 12 bolt and now i have to grind more off and when i do hard turns like in a parking lot there is a hell of a gringing noise but not when going streight i put the car up on a jack and ran it in gear and ther is no grinding. has any one gone through this problen before.


thanks Chris

sounds like you just need to grind them a bit more. Probably when it comes time for you to put in new brake pads, you will have to grind it again as they make the calipers stick out a bit more when new pads are installed.

This my sound stupid but can't you remove the wheel and look inside, see if there is marks! are you sure the rear end is perfectly centerd and the wheel wells are not the problem?
