My front brake sliders pins won’t stay in on one side
My brake slider pins keep backing out on the driver side l. I have to keep pushing them back in. I know when they come out when I hear the brakes groaning at low speeds. I got new brake pads, brake hardware and rotors. I even bought the pins made for this car and still get the same results. Is it my caliper bad or something? Oh yeah I do make sure it’s bottom out when I installed them
