Hello all!

I have been having problems with the rear brake pins, the ones with the rubber tips. I do use the proper silicone type slider grease. For some reason those pins all ways start jamming up. Even right after cleaning them up and greasing them. I have tried to use a little and a lot of grease, but no change. I have replaced the pins and no luck. I also reemed out the bracket that receive the pins, just to make sure they are clean.

I know that those pins are supossed to be for anti vibration. Does anyone know if it is okay to replace the rubber ended pins (top) with the same type as the bottom as the ones? Would anyone know what would be the outcome? On the bench with all the same none rubber pins it seems like it would work just fine.

Any help or answers are welcome.

Thank you.
 






Problem solved by replacing the pins once again. The old pins being 6 years old was one issue as the rubber swelled over time. As for the new ones that didn't last a month before jamming up, it seems that there could have been a bad batch (cheap composites in rubber) according to the parts dude. He replaced them under warranty and so far I have not been having any issues with the rubbers swelling up and jamming.
