the bushings that goes into the calipers to keep the
calipers from moving....mine have gone out on my spyder

them locally.

The last I heard was that NAPA could get them. GM quit making them a few years ago right after I bought mine, now wish that I had gotten a few pairs. Good Luck.

I got these at Trak Auto, they have a kit for these. You can also try NAPA auto parts, they are very good at getting parts for older vehicles. You can check NAPA at Napaonline.com Clyde

One thing that I did when I swapped my spindles
to install the late monza vented rotors was to
inspect the spindle where the caliper contacts. On one of
my spindles there was some sign of wear where the
spindle contacted the caliper. What I ended up doing was
to weld the area that contacts the caliper and then
grind/file the weld smooth to make up for the wear. You want
the caliper to fit snug but also want to leave a
small amount of a gap so that the caliper can slide
without binding. This will prevent any rattling of the
caliper, especially if you install the new bushing kit.
