    and no i did not remove the bolt... it fell out!! The only thing stoping the caliper from swinging all the way around is my brake line.


    now i have to go figure out what size bolt i am missing.

    I think that wins for worst cause of WRX clunking I've seen so far. It seems like clunking is normally related to aftermarket tophats/coilovers or swaybars.

    Thats crazy Clayton. There is a spring pin that is supposed to hold the caliper in place in case there isn't a bolt. That little rubber boot has to get pushed in, in order for the caliper to rotate like that. Should be an easy fix with a trip to ACE.
