Re: '97 Chevy Tahoe (2dr/2wd) mild custom
I can't win for losing! After installing the new front brake parts, I was informed that the calipers were rubbing the inner wheel. If you have been following along, you'll know that to avoid spacers I had to grind them down a little when I first installed the Wheel Vintiques. Well, I guess the new parts lessened the tolerances I had previously clearanced for. I had the guys at the shop grind them some before it left, hoping it would be fixed. On the trip home it was evident that they're still rubbing. Not having any power tools to remedy such a problem, I'm now investing in an angle grinder. It will come in handy for trimming a bit more of the lower control arms as well.
A couple positives are that the brakes feel much better, & I now believe splurging for that new fuel pump maybe was a good idea. It had always hummed/buzzed quite loudly, but now I only hear it briefly before cranking. I read that the loud pumps were common on this year Tahoe/truck/etc.
