Did you install the bracket correctly? It sounds like the rotor is not seated as stated above.

The bearing and hub is all together in an assembly. I checked fit with rotor by puting lug nuts (2, 180* off) hand tight holding rotor on. Then when I put bracket on it contacts the outside edge of rotor.

take the rotor off and flip it.

Put the tire on and those two bolts opposite of each other and tighten them down a bit to ensure the rotor is all the way on the hub.

Potentially you have a wrong part? Where did you get these parts at?

Apparently there is two diff thicknesses for the wheel stud flange. Now next question will a 4 wheel abs hub fit on a 2 wheel abs truck and just cut the sensor wire?
