[QUOTE="tobyw, post: 1566810, member: 16413"] I have found the answer to the issue... First and foremost, I went back and looked closely at the entire knuckle assembly and found what appeared to be a plastic spacer between the knuckle and the unit bearing. I took it apart, and sure enough, there was a nylon shim in there - and it was TAPERED?!?! Some quick Google research turned up this: [URL="https://www.amazon.com/Specialty-Products-26014-CAM-CAMBER/dp/B00N27PSRS"]https://www.amazon.com/Specialty-Products-26014-CAM-CAMBER/dp/B00N27PSRS[/URL] I've never seen or heard of such a thing, but that is exactly what was in there, and it was in wrong... The shim is clearly labeled so you can put it in correctly, if you pay attention to the label. Otherwise, you get what I had, and that is a rotor that isn't square to the caliper tabs! This must be some sort of factory fix for manufacturing tolerances, because I turned the shim around to properly orient it per the labels, and sure enough the stand off distances are now spot on equal!! Now I just to get some caliper shims to equal up the spacing of the rotor inside the caliper bracket :awesomework: [/QUOTE]
