Brakes not fitting
#4
suzuki sells 2 calipers. one for 2door and one for 4 doors.
my guess is the old calipers are missing now>? turned in as CORES, the brackets look very different.

as you slide the correct, caliper on to the disk, piston retracted, (did you) then if fits on the disk (my guess yes yours gets to this step.

then you forget to slide the caliper on its guide pins, the caliper floats on those pins, if it dont slide then its the seized pins.
the caliper floats.
if the caliper is pushed over to the side that allows the mounts to go flush then it fits, if the slides bottom out before that, then that sir is the wrong caliper.
if you drove to GM, and bought them (huge price) they ask the VIN first, that is because the 2 are NOT THE SAME.
at suzuki they can not decoded, VIN, so tell them you want 2 door calipers.

here is the Suzuki P/N
btw, calipers piston diameters vary be car weights, that is how the engineer , tune it. (same at MC too)
the car has 2door rotors too, not 4doors.
and the bracket for the caliper same 2 parts, (not counting Left and right) 2 rotors, 2 caliper , and 2 brackets in the offical suzuki catalog.

one trick is use Rockauto.com and see lots of makers of calipers.
the suffix of the part numbers at suzuki tell use which ones they are,
56bxx
60Axx

there is only one, knuckle.
the wrong rotors
the wrong calipers
or even wrong wheel bearing hubs.

if the old ones fit, and the new ones do not, its the wrong parts. (sliders slid to let them fit)
I cant see the fit up so can just go, gee that is wrong.
they also sell the brackets separate too. and different from 2door and 4door.


the other fly in the ointment.
89s started in JAPAN not here at CAMI then in spring, started up in CAMI .
the 89s have different parts. too.
but are listed as 89/90 year, and parts buys are not easy, and the parts lists do not fully show this fact (shows different parts but not why in some cases)

here are the 2 pages in the book (V= 4 doors, C = 2, v = van, C=canvas top 2door.
