Re: [Chevelle-list] 'slightly' off topic- disc brake question.
Thanks Leo- I'll check to see if the sensor is there (think there is but not sure). If there is, I'll see if it can be adjusted at all. Regards, Jim --- Leo John Costigan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: First off, that gear on the back of the rotors is for the anti lock brakes. There is a sensor mounted of the spindle that has a set clearance between the sensor and the rotor. You may have this sensor too close to the rotor and that is the clicking sound. You could destroy the sensor and not have anti lock function is a panic situation when the brakes lock up. On the dash there is a warning light for anti lock brakes. It should come on when ignition switch if turned to the run position and then go out. If your vehicle does not have anti lock brakes when you got the replacement rotors you got the ones for anti lock and there is interference because of the 'gear' on the rear of the rotor and after some driving the gear brakes off or wears until the is clearance. The gear on the rear of the rotor is actually part of the wheel speed sensor system that controls when the brake system will go into anti lock.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 'slightly' off topic- disc brake question.
Thanks for the info Devin- Yep, I had some grease
between the seals and the spindle. The ticking is
actually a feeling in the steering wheel, not a sound.
It was hard to describe via email, but I gave it my
best 8^]
I think the truck has ABS but I'm not sure. It has
SLS badges on it which I think is the top of the line
for that year ('98), but I can't tell for sure if the
truck had been modified or not. I got it used in
2000 with 13k miles on it.

The cotter pin locking in your wheel bearing is rubbing the dust cap. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of J.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 'slightly' off topic- disc brake question.
First off, that gear on the back of the rotors is for the anti lock brakes. There is a sensor mounted of the spindle that has a set clearance between the sensor and the rotor. You may have this sensor too close to the rotor and that is the clicking sound. You could destroy the sensor and not have anti lock function is a panic situation when the brakes lock up. On the dash there is a warning light for anti lock brakes. It should come on when ignition switch if turned to the run position and then go out. If your vehicle does not have anti lock brakes when you got the replacement rotors you got the ones for anti lock and there is interference because of the 'gear' on the rear of the rotor and after some driving the gear brakes off or wears until the is clearance.
