front brake caliper play

Post by nelly001 »

hi while out riding sunday i noticed i had play in my front brake caliper as if 1 of the caliper bolts had come loose.after checking the bolts were tight i saw the caliper had movement on the bottom back and forth and after stripping the caliper bown and inspecting it i can find no wear on the pin or the hole in the caliper.only thing i can think of is the rubber boot which the pin slides in and out of is worn and causing play back and forth anyone else had this problem.are these rubbers a part that should be changed regularly as part of a service never come across this before
