My brother was in town for the holidays and was helping me finish up rebuilding the brakes and suspension on my 72 Fury. It has been about a 4 month process since I've been doing a lot of sanding and painting along with only being able to get to it every other weekend. We were almost at the finish line too when we got stopped cold because of the wrong caliper.
I bought both a right and left caliper from Rock Auto and the left one went on fine but the right one wouldn't go. It was a hair too shallow to fit...probably meant for a thinner rotor. Took a closer look at it and the numbers don't match the old ones or even the new one. Somebody put the wrong part in the box.
What's up with the Auto Parts Industry? In the last seven orders I placed with Rock Auto this is the third one that has issues. One order I bought a pair of dust caps that were too small and in another order I bought two rear shocks and they sent me three???
Thanks for letting me vent here.
