Brake caliper pins too loose?


Recommended Posts

I recently got some brake pins from CarQuest for my stock '76 calipers, but compared to the old ones they are much smaller. They can wiggle around in the holes whereas the old ones had to pounded out with a chisel.

 

Now I know the old ones were covered in rust and a little bit of paint (that's why I'm replacing them) but the CarQuest ones are still way smaller than the ones that were on there.

 

Should I be concerned about this and if so where do I find suitable replacement pins?

Nissan dealership or anywhere else that knows what a Z is...

 

That said... there is usually some slop in the fit between the PADS and the pins... You should not have any rattles as long as you use the anti rattle spring kit... and check that your rotors are good and straight...
