[QUOTE="Tob, post: 13549692, member: 83412"] Drives me nuts when people aren't specific enough... are you talking about this kit? [url=http://www.lethalperformance.com/2013-2014-shelby-5-8-l-gt500/driveline-1/rear-end-upgrade-kits/s197-gt500-rear-end-axle-upgrade-kit.html]Lethal Performance S197 Axle & Differential Upgrade Kit - Rear End Upgrade Kits - Driveline - 2013-2014 5.8L Shelby GT500[/url] Rotor to cali[B]p[/B]er interference is [I]common[/I] and not necessarily indicative of a bent axle. If you've done a lot of brake work you'd notice that quite often the cali[B]p[/B]er isn't centered on the rotor. Factory cali[B]p[/B]ers often favor one side of the rotor and can interfere or make contact when a lateral load is placed upon the wheel/tire. A quick runout check is always a good idea after installing any axle, OEM or otherwise. Who welded your housing ends and how sure are you that they were installed square to the axle centerline at the face and parallel to the axles at the tube? Were they Mig or Tig welded, etc? Runout should have been verified before the assembly was even placed back into the vehicle. Who did the work on the axle and the installation? [/QUOTE]
