play in calipers

[briny182]

Just took my front wheels off to give the calipers a clean up - and noticed that both seem to have a bit of play in.

Is it normal that when you grab the main part of the caliper, you can rock it towards you and away from you (we are talking around 1mm either way) or does anything need tightening? just found it unusual that both are doing it.

thanks

When I had the brakes apart the other weekend to fit the discs and pads I cant say that I noticed any movement at all, when I put it all back together I made sure that I used plenty of locktite when bolting it all back together.

There are two bolt on the back of the Hub its worth checking that these are nice a tight.

cheers - will go and clean them up and loctite them back in then.. whoever had it before obviously hadn't done the job of changing pads brilliantly..

Another reason I took the wheels off was to make sure my pads were ok, as occasionally I get a grinding sound as if they are wearing thin.. pads are fine, so hopefully this might have something to do with it

no harm in giving them a quick tighten up i guess

Front what your saying sounds fine shows the caliepr sliders are sliding.
