Granada Rotor Issue

[Power Surge]

Anyone with the Granada rotors have a problem with the lower control arms hitting the rotors? Mine are hitting at the very inside edge of the rotor face. I could grind the very edge of the arm down to fix it, but am curious if it's a common issue first. Maybe my lower ball joints are toast too, I'll have to check those, although I don't recall them being bad when I did the new uppers.

I don't have Granada rotors yet, but tubular upper control arms will probably solve your problem.

I've heard that this can be an issue. I didn't have any troubles. I did have new ball joints in before I did the swap though.

I recall that problem when I swapped Granada rotors onto my Cobra many years ago. As I recall, I purchased a large machine washer (1/16th" thick) that slipped onto the spindle behind the rotor and that cured the problem.

Ok thanks. I don't mind "fixing" it, I just never heard anyone mention this issue.

Mine bolted right up with no clearance problems. I replaced all the suspension components at the time.

Personally I would be nervious spacing the rotor out with a machine washer, but then again I could just be paranoid too.

I've done it twice and had to "clearance" the end of the lower control arms both times.
