Brake caliper carrier failure?

Post by ZsZ »

Hi All!

Is this normal?:

First I tought the guide pin wore out but it looks like one of the holes in the carrier is bigger than the other. On the other side the lower one wobbles.

I just got the new caliper carriers from Brickwerks. The left pin is wobbling on the new ones also, but not as much as on the old ones. I hope that with the renewed calipers I will got rid of the sticking.
A vid about the new carrier:
