Caliper bushings?
 

Ok so i've had the damn stupid front end rattle forever. I've replaced a ton of stuff, tightened, re-tightened my caliper slide bolts. The damn thing still rattles like crazy, i'm pretty much positive it's the caliper. The bolts are definitely as tight as it gets. Are there bushings or something in there I can replace?

My Left front caliper used to clunk.
Mechanic said I needed new Lock Pin, sleeve, and rubber bushings.

Said lock pin is stripped from it being over tightened due to the rubber bushing thing being shot.

I could not find the Bushing available separately.
They are in the Disk Brake Seal Kit. (which is both sides).
Basically its all the rubber bits for your calipers.
Part you likely need is the #o5 in the Brake Seal Kit pictured below (10).

Part Numbers (subaruparts.com):
Disk Brake Seal Kit - 26297PA010 - $31.95
Lock Pin Sleeve - 26231AA010 - $15.81
Lock Pin - 26228AA050 - $7.48

Not sure if you will also need the lock pin and sleeve, so I included those part numbers.

Dont forget to check 1stsubaruparts.com also, they may be cheaper than subaruparts.com, depends on shipping.

Subaruparts.com has the diagram lookup sheets like posted above for basically the whole car, its very handy.

I am still chasing other clunks from the front end...

I haven't looked in a month or two, but you used to be able to get rebuilt calipers loaded with ceramic pads for ~$50 at advanceautozone...

Re: Caliper bushings?
 

They're about $95 for a pair with about another $95 core charge added. Still a great deal if you ask me.:)

Re: Caliper bushings?
 

95 for a rebuilt set sounds like a way better deal. Advanceautozone? What is that? lol Sorry for being a dummy but i googled it :) autozone has them for like $68 a piece but $95 a pair sounds great. Linky please :) :)

Re: Caliper bushings?
 

Autozone:)

linky as you asked:D

Also, just to add for people, it is a much better deal to get straight rear calipers rather than the loaded rear calipers.
about $195 +$95 core for loaded rears, and only about $38 for each +$47 unloaded rear caliper. Just for reference.:)
Can't beat a full set of rebuilt calipers plus front pads for about $170

Re: Caliper bushings?
 

What do you mean loaded vs unloaded?

Re: Caliper bushings?
 

loaded=includes the pads:)
unloaded is just the caliper by itself
