HELP!!!!74 4 door cornet disc brakes
So, when a major automotive publication is doing a tech article which involves "thousands of people" using a part that Chrysler engineers say is wrong, it's responsible journalism "NOT TO MENTION" it??? Sure, no potential liability there!
What seems pretty simple to ME is if you have the opportunity to get the CORRECT factory engineered part, why settle for one that is 3/8 inch taller? I mean it's only your BRAKES and FRONT END alignment. THERE'S a good place to save a few bucks! And it's not like any of us are running higher powered engines or letting our kids drive the cars that we're building!
Sure, what do Chrysler engineers know???
The interesting thing about the internet is that there's always "thousands" of anonymous people who will dispute ANY fact put out by experts. I have read that "thousands" of people believe that George Bush instructed the CIA to plant explosives in the World Trade Center buildings, then faked the video of planes hitting the structures.
Perhaps the "lookalike" parts DO work fine. Maybe 3/8 inch is no big deal, but if I'm building a car that my grandson is going to drive regularly, I'm going to get the parts that Mother Mopar say I should have, and I'm DAMNED HAPPY that Mopar Action pointed out the engineers' concerns in their article!
By the way, I'm tired of posting on this subject. People will believe what they want to believe (and so do I).
I'd like to apologize in advance to anyone with special needs children, because I'm going to have to refer to JRR's "Shut the F#@K UP" foundation for the last word on this one:
