KH question

Thanks for replies, here are some pics. Easier to see the divots with a few minutes of filing on them. I tried measuring, best I can tell is approx 0.050" on the deepest.
Yes Jim, they do start to add up in price. I needed 8 new pistons and seals, but had never tackled a rebuild on these, so the challenge is/was on.
Thanks all.

Boy, if you have divot's that deep on the caliper "ways" where the pad sets down, you probably don't have any choice but to have them welded up, and file everything smooth.
Sounds like you have some really worn caliper body's.
Those pad retainer clips are designed to keep the pads from coming out the top of the rotor, and i don't know about this "rattle" over a rough road.
To the op.
If your buying Centric pad hold down clips, then in my experience they have to be bent down somewhat for proper usage.
You can easily figure it out when you set pads down into the caliper.

Tx hemi"...I haven't had a chance to take the wheels off to check for the cause of the rattle yet so i am not sure what is causing it.
You are right about rebuilding costs though.
