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?

right its on metal bushings. I've did some replacements like sway bar bushings and I relooked at my coilover fasteners/nut. Seems to be coming from the endlinks. I've went ahead and asked for warranty replacement since MOOG is lifetime. The weird part is that both rear disc brakes left and right both has play but the sound is coming from the rear right only. I would not think it is the coilover shock because it only has a few thousand miles and at the same time, it does not have the same sound when the car is in regular driving. Regular driving the car sounds normal, if shocks were done, it would make the sound consistently on at least good bumps. But again, my last things I will go through the process is the endlinks next, and then go back to the coilover shocks just to be sure. Thats where I am pinpointing it back to.
