E30 Brake Caliper problem..check yours.

so me and my dad where cahnging out my brake rotors and pads. After we took everything apart (had to drill the passenger set screw, but my dads got machinign tools...so it wasnt a big deal) i noticed the calper wasnt moving freely like it should.

Its pin number 6. The one that goes into the caliper and slides back and forth when u press the brakes. These pins on both sides seized up.

My braking quliaty was going downhill fast..and i wasnt sure why. I think this explained it. i had bad vibrations from the front. This was prolly the cause. Next time u do ur brakes check this.


Its part number 10.
