Review on ๐Ÿš— ACDelco 18K1406 Front Disc Brake Caliper Bushing Kit with Seals - Professional Grade by Seth Gomez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The two small bushings were too thick for Subaru's knurled lower caliper pins. 4 large dust bags fit well inside.

4 large bushings/boots in this item fit snugly on the caliper pins. However, on the 2002 Subaru Forester (and other Subaru models, according to the Subaru forums) the lower left and front caliper slide pins have a notch on the underside that fits two small bushings. The two small bushings in this product were too thick because the sliding pin with the small bushing installed could not easily enter the hole. I had to reuse the original small bushing from the original slide pins, after which the slide pins fitted easily. Unfortunately, I read on the forums that Subaru Inc. doesn't sell small bushings separately; To get them you need to buy a caliper restoration kit. So the problem is misfitting that little aftermarket bushing. Again, the large bushings (dust covers) in this kit fit well. I'll try a different brand next time - maybe their little jacks will work. Btw, everyone recommends silicone caliper grease for these Subaru pins because the petroleum based grease can cause the little rubber bushings to bulge and hinder movement. caliper pins.
