4th gen rear brake knock back....need solution

[Supercharged111]

I just ordered some Dorman clips off of Amazon, nobody had any in town. We'll see what the car does on Feb 24th cheatin bastard practice day.

I had success by welding a small bead on the end of the axle and grinding or "tuning" it so size allowing a small amount for heat expansion. Ran those axles for years.

Uncanny. Ryan just mentioned the same thing to me. I measured .029" play on the right side and .044 on the left, and .007" on the diff pin where the axles have been smooshing into it.

We'll have to measure the play on mine since it has c clip eliminators and I have plenty of knockback.

Dorman clips came in today, they measured .159" thick. My old ones were .152" and .153", so definitely thicker. That plus a rosette weld on the axle end should have me good to go here. Going to leave a .010" gap per side, or as close as I can get. That'll eliminate.053" of end play. Along with new rear pads and tighter front hubs should be a more confidence inspiring car.

I rosette welded the axles and got it down to ~.0115" on one side and ~.0135" on the other. I feel like the c clips got rid of more than just the 6 and 7 thou that I measured. We'll have to see how the car feels now at a cheatin' bastard practice session.
