Re: Buzzing noise from front end

The caliper isn't threaded, the slide pin that goes into the bracket is. The short bolt that retains the caliper to the bracket actually goes into the end of the slide pin. Is it one of these short bolts (or the hole it goes into) that are stripped? If so, buy a new caliper slide pin and matching caliper bolt and you're set. Did you make sure the long sliders that go into the caliper mount bracket are free and sliding properly when you had it apart? If they are seized, it will cause uneven rapid wear of your brake pads.

Re: Buzzing noise from front end

I just noticed his calipers and slide pins are different than my dual pistons...My slide pin IS the bolt that holds the caliper on..
