funkengruven99 said:it appears to be loose at the axle where the whole caliper assembly attaches, Im not really sure if its suppose to be like this to allow adjustments to the chain. I know its suppose to slide on the swing arm bracket but it seems like there is ann 1/8th inch of play up and down. Also i noticed that my brake rotor is warped and is causing it to move when it hits the warped part, Probably loosened it up a little cause of that.....
there is also like a square shaped washer where the axle attaches to the swing arm that is kinda loose, like i can move it around cause the hole is oval shaped not round.....

This illustation should help;
