Brakes not fitting
#2
your first ever brake job, ? did you first make sure the caliper pistons are fully collapsed and also know that caliper floats in the floating pins? and it to must be adjusted first?
all calipers work that way, they float or you crash. (LOCKUPS)
sorry if all that is old hat,?

you are buying the wrong parts. simple that is.
why not just buy USA parts, made by Raybestos, THERE REBUILDS ALL WORK !
is that car still with front spring struts?
the 1989/90 spindle knuckle is drop forged and heat treated, (imagine super strong) and will only bend in very nasty collision,
those are NAPA branded rebuilts, and near impossible to track , those.
i went online to NAPA,.
they never asked for VIN (error 1)
then fails to ask, 2door, 4door, (error2) engine size or even 2wd or 4wd, yes 4wd end spindles are different on track/kicks.
making parts buys there, near impossible (sad no?) not asking the VIN first a is super bad idea....
same with engines. not asking.
one way to cure that is avoid no name brake parts, napa rebuilds, made by whom, its secret that. so. avoid that, buy by name
with a name we the go online first, get the brake catalog and find your car, your doors, 4wd, and all that and now a correct partnumber you have to shop.
i see they sell 2 brands, not sure how altoms can fit either lacking door count
same 89-95 years.
also the rears are like that , the more heavy car has brakes tuned and for that weight class. (manual brake)

id go to advanced auto stores.
napa is going down hill fast.




Ok, the brakes on 2door DO NOT fit the 4door.
