Author	Subject: Rear Calipers Q
iplay Seasoned Pro Location: Number Wang Registered: 18 May 2006 Posts: 3,271 Status: Offline	Post #1 The driverside rear caliper stops sliding when the mounting bolts are tightened. I have repalced the bolts, slide pins and seals. The calipers slide easily until bolt starts to tighten. Damage to caliper or trailing arm possible?

I will swap over the brackets but they are new parts in good condition. I still think there is an underlying issue. Could the caliper itself get twisted if it was in a knock or the rear trailing arm (bolt threads?)?
