Caliper position.

Not sure if this has been asked before, but does the position of the caliper have an effect on the suspension?

eg, if it was mounted at 3 o'clock would it compress the suspension where as if it was at 9 o'clock whould it extend the suspension? or visa versa.

Thanks

John

none technical response would be none - assuming identical positioning apart from 3 or 9 o'clock as it gains / looses no additional momentum. Issue would be easy of bleeding / amount of cooling from air rushing past / is it sided - ie this end has to be 'up' for any particular reason.

It as an effect BUT only on the wheel bearing loads.
