I have no idea what you are talking about. I remember both pins being the same with the same bolys. Did you pull both sides off at the same time?

Yes I pulled the first side off cleaned it and figured I would pull the second one off while the first one dried. dumb idea. notice how the bottom one has plastic toward the end, maybe it doen't matter?

Thanks anyway maybe someone with shime in with the right answer.

Do you know of any website with schematic drawings that maybe I could tell the difference from?

The rubber one goes on TOP on both calipers.....



That was Fords answer to sticking caliper bolts.....



What a waste, the rubber expands and jams it any way.....



I replaced mine with 4 new ones and guess what, no stupid rubber..

Dam I already put them together and I put the rubber ones on bottom. Does it make a difference Todd.

THank you

 

[Todd Z]

I don't think so.....

If you lubed them properly it shouldn't matter....



Both pins are the same size, length and thread....



The rubber was only for the sticking part nothing else....
