Converting to Rear Disc

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 9:34 pm

Well today i found out my driver side rear bearing is going out. I'm too lazy to read & search right now so i figured i would start a new topic. So if some of you guys don't mind, give me a hand & let me know every thing i need. As far as i know, i need the rear hub with the rear calipers & discs.

kinda figured that too, what about the knuckle where the hub attaches to, along with the strut & other suspension arms

Why not just get a complete used rear end? Vs piecing together one...

Cant you use a rear set up from a first gen w/ disk brakes?

But can I still use 2gn Components (brake pads, calipers, disks) w/ a 1g set up? Because I already have those things, just need to do the conversion. and I cant return any of it either.

Ive done 1st gen/ 2nd gen disk swaps. 99% of the parts are interchangeable. Hit me up with a PM or AIM or something and ill let you know... as Im in no condition right now to explain such things.

if you get the rear disk brake off an r/t or srt4 everythign is interchangeable. direct bolt up in place of the old. the knuckle where the suspension stuff bolts up to fits right in just fine. you need the one from the disk brake setup, brake line, rotor, caliper, ect. usualy when you buy a used complete rear disk setup it comes with all that attached already. not sure aotu 1st gen brakes though. if you want i have the rear drums ill sell you if you cant fine a rear disk setup. just let me know which side because one of mine is broke so i might have th eone you need if you do need it.
