Rotor question

[Dsmpagan]

I'm performing the outlander big brake swap on my 91 talon. My problem is when I put on the rotors with the new bracket I get rubbing between them. Its not constant rubbing. Its only on one side. I tried adding a washer to the bracket bolt to give it more room. That didn't work. I put a level on the rotor to see if its warped and it doesn't seem to be at all. They are brand new rotors from brakeperformance.com., brackets are from rockauto.com. Then I went to the junk yard and got new brackets, that doesn't help. I even tried put the old rotor and bracket back on and that rubs now too. I tried putting a few lug nuts on just the rotor the make sure it as flush as possible. I checked behind the rotor to make sure the mounting surface was flat and derby free and it is. Its a new to me car and I've only driven it once but it didn't have any rubbing sounds at all. I'm lost and don't know what else to try.

Thanks

The rotors shouldnt hit the bracket at all. Are you sure the bracket is bolted on tight and correctly?

 

[Dsmpagan]

yea bolted on tight. as far as I can tell it cant really be put on incorrectly. only goes on one way. This ones got me real confused. Is there anything else that could be warped?

The odd part is the stock rotors do it

 

[Dsmpagan]

any suggestions? part of me wants to take it apart and try again but I've tried that. But I can always try again.

Does the hub move?

 

[Dsmpagan]

sorry my car terminology is a little shaky. I turn the rotor using the wheel studs about 1/2 way before the rotor come into contact with the bracket.

Sounds like maybe the part that the bracket bolts too might be slightly bent
