OK...I am so fed up with the rattling,clunking etc...I have replaced the strut inserts, the wheel bearing/axle set,the radius bushings with polyurethane from FCPGroton, and new sliding bolts for the front Girling calipers, new brake pads and STILL the rattling persists. I believe it is in the sliders for the front calipers, cuz if I press the brake pedal when I go over rough sections of road, the rattling stops. Is there any other solution than getting new calipers. I believe the steel bolts slide on a brass bushing. Any assurance that this has been replaced in rebuilt calipers?
In other words, if I install rebuilt Girling calipers (from FCPGroton) will I have the same problem again. But better braking??
Gracias,
el raidman
