Caliper rubbing against front wheel
On my 2004 Mach 1 with stock wheels and brakes, the front right caliper edge is rubbing the inside of the wheel.
I pulled the caliper off and the pin was snug and looks ok. Nothing felt loose and the rub on the inside of wheel was even all the way around, so wheel not out of round. Any ideas on what the issue might be?

Is it a stock rim or a replica? Is the pin through the slot in the caliper itself?

Re: Caliper rubbing against front wheel
It is a stock rim.
I took the caliper off and cleaned up the contact surfaces of the pads. Put it back together and the pads are seating closer to the center of the rotor now. I can see were the pads are touching the rusty part of the rotor where it was not hitting before. May have been an anti-rattle clip that was installed wrong. Looks good to go now. Thanks
