My brakes are rubbing. Why?

Post by blurple124 »

I just recently re-installed my original brakes after re-doing the suspension at all four corners.
I figured putting the wheels on would help seat the discs and fix the rubbing, but it hasn't helped.

What needs to be done?

But did you ever actually figure out what was wrong? All four of mine are rubbing and turned straight ahead.

:shock: yeah sorry about that :oops: I made an assumption that between the torque, clips and perhaps taking my time it fixed itself. Also the rubbing was happening while the tires were off the ground.
