I changed my tires this weekend and after reinstalling the brake calipers, I noticed that there's a very slight movement in both of them (probably less than 1mm, but you can feel and hear it distinctly). The bolts are torqued to 18 ft/lbs, it it seems like the looseness is between the main body of the caliper and the bracket that that's bolted down. I didn't check before I removed them so it could have been like that to begin with - can anyone confirm is this is normal?
