I recently replaced my front hubs on my 95 XJ sport and have been having a problem with the passenger side rubbing. It seems that the new hub has the disc rubbing against the structure but can't figure out a way to stop it. i've attached a picture to see if you guys spot anything weird about it. You can see on the structure where the disc has been rubbing. Hasn't been bent or misshapen to my knowledge and the noise only occurs when I'm using the brakes. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!!

I don't see any rubbing.

FYI don't let your caliber hang like that from the brake line.

I put new rotors on mine and was getting all sorts of grinding noise. Turns out it was rubbing against the knuckle and the splash shield. The splash shied was shot so I just cut it off. There's still rubbing on the knuckle just at the top of the hub but not enough to make a difference. Ill learn to live with the noise for now. It's a lot less than before now that the shield is gone

I don't know that much about the brakes, but could it be the wrong rotors? I know there are two different types with slightly different thicknesses.

Cast or composite makes a difference. About half way down this post is a comparison of the hubs just to check yours.

Is the hub nut torqued to the proper spec, is the unit bearing trashed already?

I had the same issue, even tried different rotors to see if I somehow had the wrong one. Ended up pulling the hubs and this is how my passenger side came out...

I'd check the torque on the hubs again. Did it go in easily? Did you clean the knuckle up before putting the hub in?
