![]() Then remove the Pads and remove the caliper support body (aluminum frame that holds the pads and caliper) using an 18 mm socket.Ģ. Remove the wheels, caliper using 12mm socket. I have gone with normal arc welding on the caliper pins.ġ. I will get the pins arc welded this weekend, I will try it on my old pins also please suggest if I need to go for a brass or normal weld. ![]() The reason I am attaching this picture is that, these caliper pins with bushings can arrest the play and vibrations, similarly I saw the same caliper clunking sound issue troubling the Chevrolet Cruze customers, Chevrolet Cruze has the same type of pins with bushings as shown in attached image for swift UK, one of the Cruze owner mentioned that a particular order of inserting pins solved his problem he inserted the pin with the bushings in the bottom most caliper hole and the solid one in the top most caliper hole, reason he gave was the lower pin is subjected to more rubbing and grinding then the upper when breaks are applied in vehicle moving forward condition. I observed that this types of pins were available after market in UK for swift models 2010-2014. ![]() I am wondering if the clunk sound is caused by that deformed bush.īefore getting the Pins wrapped in Teflon tape there was a vertical play when the caliper was moved vertically, if you try to shake the caliper with force it would itself make a clunking sound or you could feel a metal to metal contact, Post the Teflon tape method the clunking sound is disappeared.Īlthough I am experiencing high road noise inside the cabin with increase of speed, I love a tomb like silence inside the car, I have also done a DIY damping on all the doors,my next step would be to check the Control arms, stabiliser rod or Tie rod for excessive road noise.įurther if at all any play develops in the caliper I would go ahead with suggestion of getting the pins brass welded and get it machined on a lathe with some +tolerance then the standard dimensions.Īlso while searching the internet I found caliper pins with bushings inserted in them, I have attached a image below of the same. what I observed was bush in the lower arm of the right side had deformed, though there was no leakage as per the SA. the stabilizer bars were changed, Caliper pins were replaced, Struts I am not very sure. My problem is exactly the same as what Moto_Guzzi has quoted in his first post.
