SSBC A-153 Front Drum to Disc Brake Conversion - Non Power - 71 Demon 340

The shaking occurs while driving but is worse at around 40-50 mph... not when braking. The pictures you see had the same test done to ensure the hub was centered and they are perfect. I will need to see from my installer if it is hub centric or lug centric as I am not sure what that means exactly. He did mention that he tried to perfectly center the wheels as the lugs do not go thru the wheel holes of my Cragers. I never had this problem with my drum brake system and the same wheels. Hoses, brackets, etc. all had to be modified to make this system fit/work. SSBC even had to make a castle nut because the one they provide didn't work. I do not know alot about this as I am sure you can see, but my guy has had his shop for 40 years and has owned about 30-40 Mopars so i didnt see this being an issue. I should have went with my gut and went with the bigger bolt pattern Willwood set up. He had used SSBC on many b-bodies in the past with no issues. Sick about this. Next step would be to go back to the old drum set up I guess.

So, the shaking goes away when you’re on the brakes?

If that’s the case that’s actually helpful. If the studs were causing the shake it should happen all the time regardless of braking. If the shake goes away when braking that frequently is a bearing issue of some kind, the calipers holding the rotors takes the pressure/end play on the bearings out of the picture.

For example, if the bearings aren’t fully seated on the races, or there’s too much end play you’ll get a wobble at the rotors because of the play. But, when your step on the brakes the calipers grab the rotors and keep the rotors from wobbling.
