    Got my drop axle from Sid and installed it on my 62.... Got he disc kit from speedway and am having problems with too much slack in there with it tightened up... I added 2 extra washers on the driver side and finally got it without any slack. Driver side I added 4 washers total and it still had slack in the rotor. Only I didn't do was change out the race because the rotor already had them installed.

    Any help?

    Call the tech line on Tuesday? Something sounds bad for sure.

    The races need to be changed...they are different from the orig. application of the rotors..

    Here's the problem...

    The kit uses 73-93 Ford Rotors... the rotors already have races installed, but the kit comes with new ones.... So you need to either install the new races and use the supplied bearings or purchase 11810 outer bearing LM11949 and use the already installed race.
