Default brake caliper bushings

hey guys!! think i might have this front end clunking thing solved.....

I never knew brake calipers had bushings and i bet when i got my ball joints replaced they never put them back in!

so where are they? in the bolt holes for the caliper? can you buy just the bushings or does the entire thing need replacing?

is it tough to replace them? never dealt with brake lines before.....

thanks guys

ive never really seen bushings in there. there is like a 3/4 inch washer that goes in there that might not have been installed but it seems these things just kinda bounce around. and sometimes the actual caliper holes can get worn out and make it bang around

You have what are like O rings in the caliper pin holes. They are located in the holes on the barrel/spacer side and out board side where just the pin is. I beleive you can replace them and you should be able to get them in a caliper pin kit set. Good Luck.

Yes. You can buy a kit that has what you need in it. Here's a website from O'Reilly for a 94 but I don't know what year you have. I'm sure you can get them for any year.
