1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build
Today the brakes arrived. So keep in mind, when I sent these back, something was very very warped. I was getting excessive runout on both the hub and disk. Wilwood is supposed to find the cause of the problem and fix it right??? WRONG! All those a$$holes did was keep my parts for 4 weeks and sent everything back exactly how it was, except they sent new disks in another box to replace the old ones. Now someone explain this to me. If there is warpage in both the hub and the disks, how do you know what is bad? They didn't fix a damn thing. They don't know what's going on any more than I do. So what's their answer? Oh just give him some new disks and it might work. WTF Wilwood!? For such a reputable company, you sure do have a shitty way of "fixing" things. If I put these back together and it doesn't fix the problem, guess what? I'm back in the same boat that I was in over a month ago and I'm going to have to go through this whole process all over again. To me, they should have replaced the disks, tested the brakes to make sure that fixed the problem, and then mailed the brakes back to me ready to go. But noooooo. This is their way of fixing their warped ****. Pass it back to the customer and say GOOD LUCK BUDDY! I'm having a shop put these together (they were the 6th distributor for Wilwood back in the mid 80's so they have some deep history). Shop said if this doesn't fix it, then have Wilwood call them and they'll sort this out directly. I hate paying a shop to do this simple thing but I won't have a leg to stand on if they're still warped. I guarantee that they'd say I installed the disks wrong if this goes south again. If the shop does it, I'll have a leg to stand on to show it was professionally done by a shop that has been their distributor and long time customer for 30+ years. This is all such bullshit to me but maybe I'm just being the usual asshole. Can ya tell I'm a little less than satisfied with Wilwood????
