10.1" brakes - caliper bushings/rubber dealies?



Just ask for a hardware kit when you buy the brakes and rotors.  If you are
really bored and feel adventerious you can buy caliper rebuild kits too.

Quick question for those more experienced --

I'm going to be replacing my rotors soon - they're down to 13.5mm (bentley
says minimum thickness is 18mm and new is 20mm). I know, I know.. I'm
about 50,000 miles overdue but its better late than never, eh?

Anyway, I'm wondering if there are any bushings or rubber dust caps or
whatever that I should replace while I'm down there? I've got 1 yr old
Ferodos on there now and I've been getting a little bit of squealing
occasionally. Wondering if its the rotors begging for sweet death or if I
have a guide pin that's worn out of something.

I know I've read about such things for the 8v brakes but I've never
specifically seen them for the 10.1" vented fronts.

Anyone?

Anyone?

:)
