Re: Calipers are loose 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be John F. Randstrom on  Mon May 14 08:19 CST 2001 [RELATED]

A few years back my '83 760 had the same clunking as yours, but on both sides. I couldn't find dimensions of the caliper pins or of the caliper mounting brackets in able to check which was bad. I ended up at the local volvo dealer trying to buy a new set of pins and was told they were not available individually, only with a caliper/mounting bracket assembly. I was tired of listening to the clunking so the new assemblies were installed at considerable expense. You might want to check out a "u-pick it" type auto recycler and see if there is a set of tight caliper mounting brackets available. I live just north of Chicago, IL and have been unable to locate any these local yards that stock any amount of 700 series Volvos.

Anyone know of any in the northern Illinois region?
