Hi CX5 community.
I just took apart the brakes yesterday on my 18 CX5 GT with 13,000 km for a clean/maintenance and noticed that the lower caliper pins (in all 4 corners) have a rubber sleeve toward the tip of the pins. I think it's for anti-rattle purposes, but noticed that even with lubrication, the damn pins in my opinion are quite "sticky". Can someone confirm what the rubber sleeves are for? So far, the pads have pretty even wear, so I'm not too concerned about it.
The other thing I noticed is that the rear pads had very little (or in my opinion none) anti-seize on the brake pad slide points whereas the front's definitely had a fair amount (still visible). It looked like copper anti-seize based on the color.
