    I owned two GP's 1998/2000, changed the brakes (did Olds Intrigue brake upgrade) on both of them.
    Make SURE you use LOCKTITE on the caliper bolts!!!! I have seen them back out numerous times, if you loose one, I have even seen one driver on the track, slice a rim open from the inside.
    The top bolt came out, when you applied breaks, the caliper bracket would swivel into the inside of the rim, and grind. He didnt notice the noise on the track and slicked a rim until the tire went flat.

What are the torque specs. for the caliper mounting bolts on 06 chevy equinox 3.4 2wd
2010-2017 Equinox

FRONT brake caliper BRACKET bolts Torque is 140 FT/LB and Caliper to the bracket is only 20 FT/LB.

REAR brake caliper BRACKET bolts Torque is 92 FT/LB and Caliper to the bracket is 20 FT/LB.
