The lower control arm is what is pushing the backing plate onto the disc...  will it still rub and is that safe to run with out the backing plates ?   Thanks, Justin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of CM510 Sent: Friday, 5 April 2002 9:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Datsun 1600 Front Struts HELP !!

Hi All,   I recently put some Datsun 200B Struts into my 1600.  I was told that they would fit but some 13" wheels wouldn't because of the big callipers.  Well my wheels fit and after some pain I have another problem:  The backing plate for the disk is rubbing on the disk on corners and some bumps.  It is being pushed on to the disk by the lower control arm I think.  Has any body done this mod before and if so did they have this problem or have they heard of it and do they know if there is any thing I can do to fix it.  I am going to have to go back to the 1600 struts if I cant fix this but I don't really want to because I have completely refitted the 200B struts (bearings, pads, disks machined, GT gas, etc..)   Any advise would be appreciated,   Thanks Justin --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
