Caliper spread maybe? Caused by the wobbly bearing?
Try a rebuilt caliper on that side?
Check the mount as well.

If the aluminum caliper is spread, I think it would be cracked or show signs of wear. I just cant see aluminum forged calipers bending. Not that its impossible,


Nope, they spread without any visible signs

I don't have one off the car or I could do some measurements.

Read the rest of the thread - yea, the bad anti-rattle plate messd up the pad alignment. I don't use them anyway


I know the fronts can spread, but can enough heat be generated in the rear? It takes a lot of constant heat to spread these. I know it is possible, but mostly in the fronts, they handle 70% of the stopping force. Hence, 70% of the temperature!
