The difference between axial and radial mount brake calipers is all in how the caliper mounts to the suspension. Axial mount means the mounting bolts attach parallel to the axis of rotation. Radial means they attach parallel to the radius of rotation. Here:

333pg333.....ive got the LR 3.0l in here right now.

running pretty well...still minor glitch when the rad fan comes on...and oil pan leak(from day one).
LR is hooking me up with a gasket set and good deal on the 3pc crossover pipe and the cross member too.
its all good though.

Crackership....it looks like they are radial calipers.

i havent checked the part # on the rims yet...today ill find out.

thanks again for all the info and help.

adam
