93 GS 2 wheel drive brake caliper
Huge problem. Change the rear brake calipers but not the mount and there is about .007-.010 play in the bushings and caliper. This created a huge problem with the caliper knocking around while driving at slower speed. It will also create a lock up condition if it cocks enough.
I contacted Cardone the manufacturer of the caliper and they say that the spec is correct. .007 is the worst case but within spec. I think as an engineer that this would be wrong especially for something that critical. more like .002 max. Any help would be awsome. |
RE: 93 GS 2 wheel drive brake caliper
i am not certain what your issue is...the caliper is moving on the mount, or the moving part of the caliper has too much play in it?

RE: 93 GS 2 wheel drive brake caliper
The bore in the caliper is larger than the bushing causing a lateral wobble and knocking when the rotor rotates.
the caliper comes in 2 parts the mount and the caliper I replaced the caliper and it was to be OEM spec but it was not, because the Original that I took off due to locking up did not have play between the bushing and the bore. |

Return the caliper and buy a better quality one.

Who is going to give me the extra money for that and lend me a car while I return it and wait for the new one to show up?
I contacted the manufacturer and they sent an in spec caliper that now works awsome. Going to the source does wonders |
RE: 93 GS 2 wheel drive brake caliper
Yeah you should always go to the source a customer source guy isn't gonna know shyt about cars and why they do what they do. Cordone is one of the companies that I don't care to deal with (I worked at a shop and we got thier parts all the time).
