I'm Driving to work today and Something isn't right. There is some noise in the front end of my car and the brakes are making a grinding noise. I get to work and notice the caliper seems to be in the wrong position. ???? It seems I lost a caliper bracket bolt. (That'll teach me to recheck everthing!) I need to know the bolt specs so I can go get a new bolt TODAY. Since this is my only mode of transprtation I would appreciate some help. I can't go check for myself since I am a teacher andI'm in the classroom all day. I have to go pick up my small children from school when I'm done here so I kinda need to know a.s.a.p. so I can stop along the way.

Thank You

All's well. It's 12 x 1.5 x 35mm FYI

I'd like to think that no one knew the answer to my question, otherwise I'd have to think this is just a veryunfrindly group who doesn't care about the welfareof fellow members and thier families. I sincerely hope it's not the latter.

 

well i was online earlier at school and didnt come back on til now so im thinking there wasent enough time for someone to find the answer and get back to you, anyways how did you loose a bolt, did it snap off or you didnt put it back on or what. very intersting.

 

I had to put adiffernt spindle assembly on because I broke the cast iron where the upper ball joints attach trying to remove a seized pinch bolt. I thought I tightened everthing properly, butI guess I missed one of the caliper bracket bolts and it vibrated loose.
