Rear Caliper Has Play Options

[trdproven]

Might need the forum guys help on this if you've already experienced it. Can't seem to find the right results from the search function.

I have play in the rear calipers. My guess is thats either normal or abnormal. So if its abnormal I'm guessing this is the pins causing the pad to move, and i get some clunks.

1. Do I just regrease the slider pins? I noticed the top is not a bolt, didn't really look at it but if anyone has some insight how this is removed that would make me anticipate better but either way I can take a look at it.

2. Do I just get new calipers? which would solve the problem anyway.

3. Get new brake pads.

4. Buy new Pins and just replace it?

not saying that, drum brakes are installed differently and have a lot of different components. a disc brake set up is less complicated. all you have is the caliper, rotor, pads and pins/bolts, ebrake cable is standard, basically the disc set up is more easier to deal with. I really doubt the issue is with the cable. its dealing with rotational sound on slow moving. ebrake related functions operate normal. im gonna work on it this weekend, I'm sure i'll find out whats wrong. i just thought there was some common clunk in our cars. Nonetheless, all i have to do is inspect and find the source. I'm going between a defective endlink or pillow ball bearing or top strut nut.
