Re: My calipers are trying to climb off the rotors!

[Schuyler Wrobel <sky62@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

here's an article from Mopar Action, you can double check your parts
compatibility, there were two sizes of rotors and 2 sizes of caliper  
adapters to match.
and of coarse, the slider groove or key way needs to be smooth and  
lubed with some grease.
I think those retainer clips need to have some spring loaded tension  
bent into them, so pounding them flat
might not do. anyway here's the link-

hope it helps you find the problem
