OK, I’ll toss this out there - may be relevant, maybe not.

I’ve got EMPI disc brakes in the rear. These are available (or at least WERE a few years ago) with either stamped steel mounting brackets or (more expensive) cast brackets. (Guess which brackets were used on my VS.)

For the first few years, we had a lot of problems getting the rear axle seals to hold a seal properly - on both sides. I think we had two failures on one side, and one on the other.

Switching to the cast brackets completely solved this. The cast ones are a lot stiffer, and apparently the stamped ones can flex enough to monkey with the seal. You may want to ask Greg which brackets he used (assuming you’ve got EMPI discs).

The cast brackets are available as separate parts, but at a price that may surprise you.

There are eight million stories in EMPI city.
