brake caliper slider pins

[alistairolsen]

Hi,
My 2002 ph2 172 seems to have a lot of play in the caliper relative to the carrier. Do these cars tend to wear the pins, or the carriers themselves?

I found these http://m.ebay.com/itm/261437140249?_mwBanner=1
But no confirmation that they fit a 172. Does anyone know if they're correct?

Thanks

Bigg red sell the pins.

Mine has worn the the carriers itself, more so on the passenger side due to pot holes. I don't think I can hear it knocking when going over bumps so will leave it.
My car has 65000 on the clock.

Hmmm. I assume the carriers are 172/182 specific? Mine on 121k+track use, so likely knackered

 

[Mr R.]

No.

Ph1, 172, 182 all share the same brakes.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I mean they weren't fitted to base spec lagunas or anything, only 2.0 clios? Which means they are now all at least ten years old, and there aren't millions of them around.
Cheers

Think I am in the same predicament. I'm pretty sure my drivers side carrier (yoke?) has one hole ovalled, the pin has a fair bit of vertical play in it yet no side-side play. Would lilke to know if any other cars share this carrier for when I'm next at scrapper's yard.... Or a source for a new one at reasonable price?

The most modern car these are fitted to are the mk2 clios so at best 10 years old, new only I think.

Yeah, much prefered the design with the pins bolted into the carrier and running in bushes in the caliper itself, at least when you got a recon caliper it was sorted.
