Right guys, Having an issue with the 283mm calipers on kerrys XSI , they arnt excessivly old, id say they have only done 115k , But have a really strange issue.
Symptoms:
Really matalicy rattle over bumps
Inconsistan pedal feel
pedal feels extreamly spongy (even on the good end of the inconsistancy)
the middle part of the caliper (circled in red below) is reall loose to the feel,
This is where the rattle is coming from when driving, if you give the wheel a good kick you can recreat the rattle, press down hard on the caliper with your hand and kick the wheel again , this deaden's the rattle, now the sliders are as tight as possible, as is the caliper, also no oil leaks anywhere,
So is this the symptons of shagged sliders? or are the calipers trash?
