Installed '97 spindles, rotors, calipers, etc. on my '93 this summer and it has always had a problem with the calipers being a bit loose on the caliper bolts and rattling when I hit small bumps. It would SEEM this is because the outside diameter of the caliper bolts is too small; but I bought this stuff as an assembly off a '97 GT, and the only thing I changed were the calipers.

I'm wondering if a part from my new autozone calipers may have been missing or if there are bigger caliper bolts I can buy or some kind of bushing/insert that will slip in and take car of the problem? Thanks for any help.

They should have a rubber insulator. They suck. You can get stainless steel pieces from Maximum Motor Sports or Steeda. You will be surprised with the difference they make.

Not the same caliper hoss. No steel inserts are available for the 94-98 varga front calipers.

Any autoparts store can get you a hardware kit for the cailpers. Should come will all ruber bushings, seals, pins, clips, ETC that are required for the application.

A-1 cardon, Raybestos, Bendix all have these kits available. You may have to special order them, but they are available.
