Im hoping they are marked wrong or backwards or something. Im going to try and flip brackets around to see if I can get a different position on the calipers. The new locker has to go in still so its coming apart either way.


aggie: The problem was that the new caliper brackets were not sitting flush with the flange on the axle. The welds on the new brackets werent allowing it to sit flat. So I just took a grinder to the corners of the flange. This pic isnt the greatest but you can see the corner of the flange where I had to grind a little
