Caliper Bolts
Any LT1 guys have a problem with the rear caliper bolts coming out? It causes a big problem. Last week my bottom caliper bolt came out so when I back up and hit the brakes the rotor pulls the caliper back. It but two scratches in the inside of the rim. Today it happened on the other side but it was the top caliper bolt, which meant when I go foward and hit the brakes the rotor pulls the caliper foward and this time it had to happen while going 70 miler per ******* hour!
After the flatbed got my car home I put a new bolt in and now it's good, but my guess is that since I bought used brakes the caliper bolts were old and maybe the threads were stretched out? Does anyone know if the bolts used in the rear LT1 calipers are torque to yield bolts, meaning they'ye only usable once? If time has caused these bolts to be bad then that explains why one of my backing plate bolts also did the same thing...
