Title: Alloy rubbing against the caliper!
Post by: hardmonkeys on 09 August 2015, 13:35

Got back onto the project today, my 8v auto to 16v manual, replaced the drop link I broke before my holidays and bleeding the brakes, anyway, when I've put my alloy back on, it is rubbing against the alloy in the OSF

Can't figure out why, I used all the 16v parts off the donor, I've replaced wishbones, drop links and ball joints with new,

The other side is fine

Any ideas.

Forgot to say they are the 15" standard alloys off the Gti, the previous alloys were 16"

Have you pressed brake pedal yet?
Push brake pedal with engine on a good few times.
