My car has rear calipers from an 83 911sc. I am experiencing an odd groaning noise from the rear of the car once the car has been driven a bit. This usual happens when turning but sometimes when going straight, just not as loud. I believe it is coming from the brakes as it immediately goes away once I apply them. I checked the rear axle bolt and found it to be properly torqued. I noticed that the calipers are not exactly centered to the disk, one piston is father out then the other.. There is a 5mm shim between the caliper and the spindle but it looks like this should be a bit thicker to center it. What size spacer should there be and could this account for brake dragging?
