Technically no, because I used my former axle shaft assemblies. But when I do use the axle shafts that came with it (and I will, once I've rebuilt the hub bearings), I will have to install the slightly different rotors from a 2010+ FJC.Did you have to change the rotor size when you did this installation?
What size rotors are you going to use?@92RedToy

I didn't use the new axles right away because I didn't know the history (original or rebuilt hubs?) and I had recently rebuilt the hubs in my old axles.
Are you going w/ different rotors simply because your gonna use different hub bearings that are bigger or is the axle shaft flange to large?@92RedToy

I'm on deck to rebuild the rear hubs/axle assemblies that came with my 8.2" axle housing. They've been collecting dust at the garage and now one of my current bearings is complaining. I threw a code for interference with wheel speed sensor and inspected it last weekend. Something (dust cover?) on the tone ring has separated from the bearing face, so wonky signal, so no ABS, so no A-Trac, etc.@92RedToy

Its strange they both were bent. Usually only see one bent from a pair due to side impact or something. More amazing that the housing they came out of is straight, every 8in I've pulled parts from had a bent housing if a flange was bent. Thicker material on the 8.2 must actually be a thing.It never occurred to me when I rebuilt those axles that they were bent.
Honestly, it could have been the freight company that damaged it en-route. It was simply strapped to a pallet and not very well protected.Its strange they both were bent.

Great info on the 8.2 though!
I was wondering how that might have happened- truck was probably on a lift and they made quick work to cut the axle off and it dropped it on the floor below-Honestly, it could have been the freight company that damaged it en-route. It was simply strapped to a pallet and not very well protected.
