Rear Caliper Sliding Pin Bushing - part #??

I'm looking rear caliper sliding pin bushings (the anti-rattle bushings at the end of the pin) for 3rd gen Prius - with the Canadian code if different from the USA. Can anybody find that please?

On the USA site I found this product - but it says it's for Avalon, Camry, RAV4, Sienna, although I put in 2012 Prius for the car. The code in that diagram is 47769A . On the Canadian website, I found the same code for the Prius front caliper.

The rear caliper diagram for Prius has no bushing figured in there. Is it the same bushing in the rear as in the front?

 

It does! Thank you! So you used it? Did you check for heat on the rotor and whatnot? Ie making sure it doesn't drag. If you say the rotor was cool as ever, I wanna try that.

Yes. It's only sold as 47814 - the pin+bushing. For 20$. Which means 40$ so I can get 2 piece of rubber. I can't find the diagram, I have another which the guy confirmed as right. The websites are a mess, so hard to search and I got 2-3 diagrams just for the rear of a Prius (not V, not C, regular Prius).

 

Awesome! Buying now. Fingers crossed.

Smart fam threw a couple away - before I could open my mouth; only saved a couple of those. Mine is 2012. Carid says that those should be good for Prius 10 to 17. What year is yours?

Actually that's a great question. I was redirected to Amazon.ca right away (the commerce monopoly mafia got all the tech dialed). I see 13.22 CAD - which is 9.98 USD - with free shipping. Comparing with Carid's 3.72 USD and your 6 usd - what can I say, I'll laugh. But given how much I've been through and that my only option is 40$ from the stealership, this looks heavenly - especially if I need spares in the future.

 

The website is awesome Mendel - thanks for that, is that a source you get parts from usually?

They are cheaper btw vs stealership, even as 2 pieces they're half the price (and even cheaper as I get more pieces) but a bit too long to get here for what I need - and twice the price almost compared with Dirt's option (and if that works, then it's enough - I'll try Monday - if it doesn't work then I'll order from Japan asap and be done with it). By next week I'm getting warranty replacements for the defective calipers/discs from Raybestos - I filed a warranty report and sent an email with Techstream analysis and a clip with the blackened discs making grinding noises to make sure they get my message and frustrations - and I wanna make sure I make the current set-up not heat (which means I still have one side with Raybestos bushings on, the oem side is fine). Once I confirm that my brakes stay relatively cool to the touch, then I know I'm good to change the parts and hopefully be done with it for a few good years.

PS: if it doesn't work, I'm telling amazon about how defective they are and asking for my money back. Only delayed by a couple of days like this.

 

My seized caliper was exactly like you say. I still have it.

Unfortunately, it feels a bit too fat. It drags more than the Raybestos for sure. I found that part even at RockAuto and it says it's for Prius 10-18. I left the Raybestos on since they were moving freely.

I think I'm going with the Jap website at this point.

What I don't understand is that with the Raybestos, the pins are moving relatively easily so I don't understand what makes the difference at all.

 

The caliper was exchanged this winter. The pin is the one that was on the caliper and seems to be the right size. The rubber bushing from Carlson seems to be a bit too fat though. I really have to push and pull to make it move inside - it's creating pressure like a pump with very little grease. I'm baffled.

 

I went to the dealer to get those pins, since I burned with desire to find out the outcome and here's the thing: the oem bushings feel slightly fatter than Raybestos, maybe 25% in between OEM and Carlson. And I'm pissed because no matter what, that caliper still drags.

Now I gotta say Carlson nails down the rubber and the shape but it had tiny ribs from where the injection mold had the pieces come together. The OEM are flawless pieces of art. And Raybestes are hard rubber straight (vs non tapered for oem and Carlson) bushings. Maybe I'll attach a pic later. Moving this conversation to the thread "caliper dragging".

 

Mendel, do you know if the calipers on Amayama are original Tokicos that come standard on Prius? The 47830-12151 and 47850-12151 are the full caliper minus the brackets, right?

 

Have a good one!
