They seemed to have been installed with the right side as the reference, but&#8230;<br \/>\nWe want to pay attention to brake caliper mounting as well. Caliper mounting holes are usually machined at +0.2mm tolerance. With that play in the mounting holes, the caliper can be tightened at any height. If the pads and disc are new, we position it as far outward as possible. When everything is used, returning it to where the wear marks already exist tends to roll the smoothest.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC01230.jpg\" alt=\"DSC01230\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/DSC01230.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/DSC01230-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><br \/>\nIt looks like some repairs were done, but this wiring is pretty risky.
