So i was going to go and replace my wheel bearing and i took my wheel off and i notice my caliper is loose. I went to go and tighten it down and its as tight as it can go. What is the problem here?

 

did you tighten all four bolts? or just 2?

 

the two that are holding on the caliper. the wobbles back and forth left and right

 

there are two more bolts back there they are probably loose. 2 smaller bolts 14mm and two at 17mm I believe, check all 4

 

its all tight...the two bolts that hold the caliper on it wobbles on those two..could what the bolts screw into be bad?

 

the other side is like that too so i guess its normal for it to do that

 

Wasn't there some sort of recall or TSB for the 5gen brake calipers? It could be on another part around there, but I thought I remembered hearing something about the calipers?

 

Loose like in and out towards the rotor?

Or loose like back and forth?

 

umm, are your sliders worn out ? they are floating caliber and they do move.

 

Its the hub, your hub is bad, trust me I know. When you do a front bearing on a maxima always do the hub too, it gets wallowed out. They stock um at nissan there 130-160depending on the dealer. call around and get one and then change the bearing.

if you have been driving on a bad bearing for a while, it will kill your hub, take evrything apart, press in new wheel bearing, press in new hub, recheck for play.

the caliper should move in and out on the slides on the bracket itself, but the caliper bracket should not move at all.
