I installed a rack an pinion steering and ran into a clearance problem with the new steering arms they wont clear the caliper housing and I was wondering if I can turn the calipers around and have them on the front side of the spindles instead of behind. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 452 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 452 | You will have to swap them from side to side as well to keep the bleeder screw at the top. Will the calipers still bolt to the spindle brackets with all the flipping/swapping you will need to do?
Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.

You may be able to find one that works for you | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 33 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 33 | I was able to swithg them using the same brackets.
