SSB Calipers
Has anyone ever had the problem of the brake caliper hitting the t-arm at the sway-bar mount? Using SSB Force 10 calipers with Van Steel off set t-arms. Caliper part number is correct.

Tom I just installed mine but have not shimmed them yet. I have the same setup and they seem to fit OK. I will try to get some pictures tomorrow after I get home from work.

In some cases the force 10's are casted a tad bigger than stock calipers which may be your case. Also SSBC changed the design of their caliper. Depending on when you purchased, you could have the old design. You'll just have to grind a little off of the t-arm to make it work. Paint what you grind.

Dale, thanks for the pictures. I'll work on it later and let you know what happens. But from what I can see my t-arms are not the same as yours. Different amount of space at the lower mounting bolt.
