Rockie51 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Does anyone have experience of the spacer kits for the front stub axles as sold by Revington and Goodparts? I have had a problem with pulsing through the brake pedal for a while. I replaced the rear drums without effect. I have checked the runout on the front discs and that is within spec. I then checked the left front bearings and ran out of thread before it tightened up, so the bearings appear to be worn out. I don’t get any vibration through the steering. The car is running ventilated discs with Willwood calipers from Goodparts. I have bought the spacer kit from Revington but a fellow TR owner suggests that it works well for a race car that gets regular maintenance but is a bit of a chore for a road car. He also said that you need to be careful with the thinner shims that come with the kit as they can crush. Any information would be appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nobbyc Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Excellent upgrade and provided you use decent bearings such as Timken and shim correctly there is no additional maintenance. I used a kit supplied by TRF and used to have to pump the pedal after a few twists and turns on mountain descents but not anymore . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 I fitted one to my 4 - it had always suffered pad knock-off - pretty simple and does what it was on the tin. ....... Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim hunt Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 +1 Very beneficial on my 4A as well. Fit and forget the pad knock off problem. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
