The front caliper on my HDi (Lucas) seems to be pretty loose on the passenger side, it's not the carrier>hub bolts, and the slider bolts themselves are tight, there must just be excess wear in the bushings in the carrier. I've had the caliper off and looked at the sliders and although a bit worn the wear doesn't relate to how much play there is in the caliper.
What I can't find is much talk of the bushings in the carrier being replaced, only a few threads on a US based BMW forum. I could buy new sliders and hope the extra few tenths of a MM soloves the problem but I don't think it will.
Other choice is a carrier from the breakers (£80 new from Peugeot) and just try and get lucky with a low mileage one!
Seems odd most people have trouble with them being to tight/rusted/stuck and I'm having the opposite...
ahhh the rattle plates are built in, so no problems there I think (http://i.imgur.com/c7xjbbp.jpg)
Any ideas guys?
