[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1224498, member: 68872"] It sounds to me like your rear wheel is messed up. The brake caliper should be rigidly mounted and not be able to move at all. The brake pads within the caliper ride on guide pins and can be wiggled around a bit but you would have to first pry the cylinder apart and then reach in with a screw driver or something to do that. If you can just grab something with your hand and wiggle it then something is wrong. Like Indy said, it almost sounds like your entire axle is loose. If it has been riden loose for a while and the pounding has elongated the slot that the axle slides in then you may have really mucked up the swing arm. You should really fix that ASAP. As in, don't ride it that way any more. At best you will only cause more damage and at worst the axle can snap at a critical time and cause a major crash. Rod [/QUOTE]
