Hello all,

I just purchased a 1990 xj6/xj40 for my son, I have just redone the front brakes on it and noticed when I put the front wheels back on the calipers are rubbing against the rims. When I bought it I was told the brakes were locked up from sitting, so I towed it home. Now that all the brakes are replaced I see I have a problem with the caliper rubbing the rims. Is there suppose to be wheel spacers ? If not what could be the problem ? It does have the stock 15" x 6.5 rims on it not aftermarket.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks Mike

 

Thanks,

At least I know there is not suppose to be spacers, I do have a haynes manual for it and everything appears to be correct, but I will recheck!
This is the first jag I have ever worked on, but the brakes dont seem any different from any other car I have worked on.I don't possibly know what I could be missing ? caliper, caliper mounting bracket, pads, mounting pins ???


Thanks again,

I will recheck the brakes

I checked out the brakes again and I think the problem is with the caliper bushings. the seem to have to much play in them. I order new ones for both front calipers hopefully this will fix this problem.

thanks again
