Smart assed remarks eh? OK... uh, er, [must control sarcasm... must
subjugate cruel intentions..] OK. <whew!>
Did you replace the caliper bushings? They are rubber sleeves the
caliper pins reside in. Sometimes it's a plastic sheet wrapped around
the tube but Raybestos (if not the OEM ATE) makes a kit.
