On some late model F bodies,i've noticed that on the rear brake calipers ,there are some rubber items which look like ice hockey pucks.
On my 3rd gen,I have PBR rear calipers with a mounting for these "pucks"so I would like to know what they do and is it worth me buying two to mount on my calipers

cheers

The "puck" is supposed to act as a noise dampener to help silent brake howling when reversing.

 

Thanks for replying Irob.Thats what I thought.Any idea what they are called as I can't find anybody who knows what i'm on about and I want to order a pair

cheers

Sorry, powermite. I went through most of my reference books and couldn't find the part numbers for the dampeners. I will keep looking and let you know if I find them.

 

10224765 Damper

Urbman,

Thanks a lot for that.
Is the part number you give a GM #
Being in the UK I can source them from a parts dealer here,as long as I have the proper GM part #

Thanks again for your help

errr... not sure
try checking against the gmpartsdirect
or some such...

(Ithink it is a gm number as Dal is a dealer guy)
