Which way do the calipers face on a 9bolt. I noticed on mine that the drivers is facing the rear. And the passengers is facing the front. Is this right or is my car screwed up more then I thought. Thanks in advance for the help! Adam :-)

 

That's normal.

 

IT IS! I never seen a car like that before. Adam :-)

 

Not so normal for other cars. Normal for thirdgens with Delco-Moraine calipers, though.

 

Yup. With 89 and up rear ends the calipers both face forward.

 

Well that's stupid. Atleast it's not just my car and it's suppose to be like that. Thanks for the help! Adam :-)

 

That's just GM saving money... by using the same caliper on both sides they didn't have to have two models made, just swap sides and use the same backing plate, caliper, and rotor on both sides. Lazy but cost effective.

It maybe more cost effective. But I still think it's stupid.

 

Normal for the rear but would sugest looking into a diffrent rear if you plan on any power, my 9 bolt has been rebuilt 3 times, im now saven for my 9 inch, and babying the 9 bolt.

 

By the time I build a motor to blow the rear up. I'll have a 12 bolt in it's place. Adam :-)
