Baer Brakes Tracker Full Floating Axle Conversion System is purchased as an upgrade to a variety of our brake systems. Though we didn't invent the floater, we were the first to refine it for Pro-Touring market. Ours is built completely from the ground up for street cars, and is 100% USA built. When the Tracker is purchased it does not include any brake parts, just the parts needed for the floater conversion. | ||
Traditional flanged-axles employ a single axle-bearing and together they support the weight of the vehicle, when cornering the flanged-axle is levered by lateral forces. Axle deflection, "bowing" or "bending" occurs as lateral forces rise with cornering speeds. | ||
"Knock Back" results when the axle flange and the brake rotor to which it is attached deflect causing the rotor to "knock" the pad "back" displacing brake fluid in the caliper piston(s). The driver must then "pump the pedal" to move fluid back into the caliper and re-establish a firm brake pedal. | ||
Knock When converting to the full floater, an additional .640 will need to be removed from the axle tube in order to maintain wheel location. The snout has a machined flange to allow systems with late model big Ford ends (Torino) to bolt onto the snout. This is a complete bolt on once installed with no need to weld brake brackets onto the rear end. If you have an existing brake system with a backing plate other than Torino, new plates will need to be ordered. |
Knock The Floater snout has a flange machined into it to allow any of the above systems with late model Big Ford ends (Torino) to bolt right to the snout. Once the snout is installed this is a complete bolt on! You do not need to weld any brake brackets on the rear end! If you have an existing brake system with a backing plate other than Torino, new plates will need to be ordered. | |||
