Front passenger slide pin bolt looks like this...

And the front end has been doing a Wubba Wubba noise for a while...I swapped out the u joints in the front driveshaft and it didn't fix the issue. Brake pads have a nice mirror finish.

Going to town for a slide pin and bolt...I have Blake Magic hats and pads...was saving those for my Super 30/35 conversion...but my e-locker is two months out...so here we go...

Are the notches we see in the pic on the lower end when mounted?

Yup!

I found an old janky bolt... probably the better half of a set in my metric junk bolt box...

When reinstalling those PO pads didn't want to swing over quite right on the top...I finessed then for 10 minutes and got it perfect... guessing the PO or shop that did it forced the slide bolt and created this mess.

Caliper and pads were "new" when I bought it this spring.

Hoping the less trashed smeared with antisieze replacement slide bolt gets me a month or two and then I can replace everything.
