They were improperly machined. The races were able to be set too deep, and the spindle nut was out of threads and the one wheel had 1/4 inch of play. I could have mickey moused it with another washer, but I had no confidence in them. My landlord/parking spot lord is a auto service rep, made a phone call to his supplier, found a pair of Brembo rotors for 60$ each, and they were delivered right to my Van. They had SKF races installed. I put my 8 month old SKF bearing in them with new seals, spindle nut and castle nut and brake hardware, and all is now well. The Duralast races sat nearly 2mm deeper in the rotor, and one of them was spinning in the bore. Avoid duralast rotors. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18,213 Likes: 2 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18,213 Likes: 2 |

Added 1/3 new lights (others need new switches) recut the holes for my 6x9s in the rear and today installing new speakers up front cutting into the headliner and running the wires. I still plan on adding 2 more speakers for the rear and 2 subs with 2 amps. Is 14 speakers too many? I didn't think so either…

Between customers I put her on jack stands an hit the rear shock mounts with copious amounts of PB Blaster in preparation for new Monroe Sensa-Tracs. Weather permitting, they'll go on tomorrow. Calling for 3-6" of snow, though, so perhaps not.
