1996CE caliper pin
Clunk when backing up & brakeing .Front caliper pin seems loose allowing caliper to move when brakes are applied in reverse .13" brakes(HD) , pin not available any more?Pics for standard brake pin looks the same , but maybe a different diameter ? Thanks , Roy

caliper pins
Anti-rattle spring is in-it holds the caliper foward . Going foward is quiet ,no problem . Going backwards the caliper moves back(1/16") pushing against the anti-rattle spring & hits the caliper mounting bracket - makes a clunk ! Seems like the mounting pin is too small a diameter & allows movement .Maybe thats the way it should work with the caliper bracket taking all the force .If no one else has been bothered with this clunk , I guess it's fine . They all do it ,sir.

The brake pads will groove the caliper pin, causing clearance and slack - I had one fail on my '94, caliper came loose and gouged the inside of the wheel.
O'reillys has them - http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...1266&ppt=C0064 - does both front calipers. I'm assuming you mean these and not the guide pins, which are available also.
