Not Ranked
After looking at these closely the braking weight of the vehicle is supposed to be taken by the bracket rather than the caliper slide bolt. When the clearance exceeds the .012 the rubber bushings are compressed to the max and all the weight is then transfered directly to the bolt. In actuality the bolt is supposed to only keep the calipers centered and supply a guide for the calipers as the pads wear.
Before I fixed my rear welded on brackets the clearance was 3/16" and larger. Clearly mine were made way wrong.
