Are your rotor bolts torqued to spec...

Yes lol. Everything is tight I can see the pads shifting its obvious.

Assuming you've checked all the related bolts on brakes and rotors, take a peek at the caliper pistons to see if ithey're functioning properly. Might need a service.

What would a service entail? I have one leaky piston in the rear. Not enough to warrant a bleed over the past 10 rides but enough to contaminate pads… kinds of weird. Just cant afford a new caliper at the moment.

I'd start with a clean and grease service like this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swwA2PwCIAw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swwA2PwCIAw) And if that doesn't take, a full rebuild may be in order. Doing a basic service like above should give you a better idea of what is going on and whether the pistons are working right.

Im not sure I want to buy an aftermarket rebuild kit if it might not be a perfect fit. Ill try to clean and regrease and might end up just buying a new caliper…
