Dumb Caliper hardware question.

[Arron tate]

Hello All,
Got remanafactured calipers and in each hardware package are two rubber bands.
Dumb *** question, (and yes i feel stupid)
What are they for and or where do you install them? (please be nice LOL)
See attached picture.
Thanks in advance
Happy Mopar

They wrap around the caliper bracket where the caliper sets on. They lay in the corners and they act as anti rattle rubbers. Marked O-ring in photo

Hello Oldmanmopar,

There were none on the spindle caliper adapter when I removed the brakes last year and now that I am starting to install the parts i was kinda lost.
As always the FABO community comes to the rescue.
Thanks for adding the illustration also.

The reason that you didn't find them when you did the dis assembly, those rubber rings never did a damm bit of good anyway.
Just throw them away.
They won't last a thousand miles anyway, in the real world of driving.
I have never seen a car with them, in all the decades that i have been around these things.

They go in the trash can.
