Running into something that I hadn't read about.. wondering if anyone else has also.

I have the ZJ caliper brackets redrilled and mounted, using the correct Teraflex spacer for ZJ discs using the XJ retaining plate (not TJ D44). Axleshafts are installed..

I seem to have issues with the rotor seating fully on the XJ D44 shafts.. did you have to enlarge the center hole here also?

The 44's wheel studs "shoulder" passes through but it appears the axleshaft has a slight taper that's stopping the rotor from seating just right, it wants to rock a bit. The rotor seems to be lug and hub centric so I assume I can just remove some material on rotor to get it seated correctly.

Anyone see any problem with my thinking?

Has anyone else experienced this?

Did you swap ZJ discs to your XJ D44 and have no issues?

Did you read the write up. There is something you need to do to make it work and it is possible.

OverlandZJ

Do you know of a write up that mentions clearancing the rotor ID? I hadn't seen one... as mentioned.

Got the input I needed at NAXJA.. thanks

Cool. Just saw this now but I was gonna say there that dude that sells the backing plates here and he mentions it

OverlandZJ

Think I know of which you speak.. the guy selling the disc kits?

Thought that was a sale ad.. didn't realize there was tech within.. i'll have to check and see what/how he recommends the clearancing.

Let us know. I'd love rear discs on my MJ with a 44.

Amazon sells bearing adapter things according to first post

I appreciate the assistance, but that link tells me nothing I didn't already know. I have the backing plates modified, the Teraflex spacer and new bearings/seals on my axleshafts. Everything installed into axle.. then found the issue with rotors.

I posted on NAXJA too, some guys have responded that they also had to clearance the rotors. I have a hunch TJ rotors might already be clearanced.. i'll find out when I go pick up a new set.

Cruiser, i'll update my build thread over there..

Thanks again.. off to the garage.
