F250 front disk brakes

Post by snake »

Do the 3/4 ton front disk brakes utilize a one-piece hub rotor assembly or is the rotor separate??

Can anyone identify if any vehicle utilized a separate rotor for 8-lug application?? (front or rear)

thanks

Most are one piece I believe. There are a couple different styles. The single piston is the one parts cost less for and easier to work on. I had the dual piston ones on my 72 and they worked real well but ate pads bad and needed frequent attention due to the sliders freezing up.
Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.
