ok, yesterday i put new pads and rotors on. started with the passagerside and finished with the driverside. never really looking at the rotors. when i was putting on the driverside. i notes that when i bolted the tire back on. the rotor was hard to speen and was rubbing the spindle. i looked and looked and could not figure out what was going on. it was getting late so i thought i would throw on one of the bad rotors back on and get my jeep out of my friends driveway. when i put the old rotor back on. it did the samething...locked and rubbing.....the other bad rotor fit it perfect..... wtf.....so, after looking at the rotors alittle closer. i found that the rotors had different thinkness where the stud holes where. so, i pull the passager side back off and switch sides with the new rotors and then the new rotors fit.

i guess what i'm asking is and i've never in all my life seen this before. but, is there a left and a right rotor?

thank you for any info.

 

no left or right rotors but there are different rotors used thru the years .

 

i didn't think so, thought i would ask. i thought at first it was because i was tring to use the 2wd rotors i pulled off the old front end. they where brand new. tring to save a little bite of money where ever i can.

thank you again.

 

same year?

 

yep, 96 2wd sport with a 96 larado 4wd under it. i also notes the calipers are bigger on the sport then the larados calipers. your thoughts?

 

just helped delta a membr on here with his 2wd to 4wd conversion used his 2wd setup ond dana 30 install swaped right over no issues but we used same rotor on same side ....also a 96

 

cool, later today. i plan on changing out the cailpers. they do look beefer then the stock 4wd calipers. i just need to finish pulling the caliper braket off the 2wd frontend.

thank you again!!!

 

calipers are different looking theres only one caliper for 2wd and 4wd just changed thru years as far as part numbers go could be diffeent years you have...

 

89 and down are different from 90 and up

 

i do know that the 96 sport is a half year. not sure about the 96 larado drivetran. the drivetran i'm using has been in 2 different xj's. this will be it third run. takes a licking and keep on ticking. i love this thing. dude, i stop driving my very clean 2001 sport trac with cold ac to drive this every day.
