Updated 05/06/2019 | Published 05/03/2019
Question:
Hi, Just wondering why the rubber bushing on these calipers keep walking out during normal use. I have replaced and reinstalled them several times on both new and used calipers. Rubber Bushing Slips out.

Helpful Expert Reply:
According to my contact at Rockwell American the most common reason for the guide bolt sleeve bushing # K338RB to walk out of the caliper assembly is incorrect lubrication. You can refer to the linked photo that shows where to, and where not to, apply silicone based grease. Do not use a petroleum base grease.
