Rear Brake Caliper

I noticed on my right rear brake caliper that the metal slider ( sorry i dont know the correct terminology) at the top of the caliper is sliding out towards the rim. I knocked it back in however it keeps on sliding out and is very close to fouling with the inside of the rim

Any advice would be appreciated thanks.

Caliper slide. You might be able to make a small bend in the inside edge of it to keep it in. But I'm not sure how they are attached originally.

You need to replace it. They are brittle and the tabs that hold them in place break off easily.

You can buy a whole set from Autozone for about $8. Buy the brake disk hardware kit - front or rear

I just noticed your in SA. Probably don't have an Autozone. You may have to get them in sets from the dealer. I bought the first set from the dealer and they charged about $8.00 a set. The kit from Autozone has 4 sets.

Thanks guys.

I noticed that the one side on the slide was broken so i nipped the end with a pliers to stop it from coming off and bent the tab to give it more tension.

Temporary job until I can buy the kit.
