Default rear brake caliper guide pin bushings?

Does anyone sell the bushings along with new pins? Or do you have to buy the entire caliper mounting bracket? All I'm finding is guide pin kits with no bushings, or a "rebuilt" caliper mounting bracket. I have a rattle in the rear brakes that's driving me nuts.

Last time I bought them RockAuto has the boots and caliper bolts separate from the guide pins. They are cheap enough.

On RA look under "Brake & Wheel Hub" > "Caliper Guide Pin" > " Disc Brake Hardware Kit"

BOOTS > https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...441339&jsn=388

PINS > https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...441339&jsn=395

OR

STC1910 > https://www.roverparts.com/Parts/STC1910

Thanks for posting all those links, but Im looking for the "Bushings" that press or hammer into the caliper bracket where the guide pins slide into. A new guide pin is worthless if the bushing is also worn out. I have one front bushing that I know is a little egg shaped due to a bent guide pin, I put a new guide pin in and it helped, but still should replace the bushing one of these days....

@Motorhead1 I can not find a bushing replacement kit for Discovery's specifically. Maybe by caliper brand ?

The black rubber things in the first link picture of the caliper guide pin kit are not the bushings you mean?

the rubber sleeves in the kit are for allowing the pin/caliper to slide back and forth and keep grease on the pin and dirt out. The bushings I'm talking about are usually brass. I'm guessing you just need to replace the entire bracket assembly, rock auto has them for 28 dollars. I was just hoping to purchase a couple brass bushings for 4 dollars or something....Thanks for the ideas all.

Sorry for the bushing/boot brain fart. Loooooooong week!!!!!!!!

I know what you want now is a brake caliper bracket/carrier guide pin sleeve.
SUX but you know you are S.O.L from LR as this is sold with the bracket STC1907.

One option you might try is if you have a NAPA close by stop in because they have generic sleeves.
Another is call a rebuilder like CENTRIC or CARDONE and see if they will sell you this bit. Might be worth a call/email.
GOOD LUCK!

I finally got around to fixing my right rear mystery rattle...I purchased a new brake caliper and mounting bracket kit off Rock Auto. No more annoying rattle going over bumps. The problem could have possibly just been my caliper, the pins and everything were greased good and seemed ok. I didn't want to take a chance, so I just ordered both items and swapped it out. Glad I did. I have spent a few times underneath my rig with a plastic dead blow hammer the last year or so thumping on everything trying to find this annoying dam rattle, then I found the clue, if I had any break pressure, no sound. So I've know for quite a while it was a break issue, but wasn't sure which part for sure. Time is limited right now, so I just bought new parts and through them in....
