I don't understand what you are telling me. The brake has two pistons, both for the outer pad, with the inner pad being static (no pistons, it doesn't move) as far as I can tell from the repair manual. So pressure would only be 'directly' applied to one side of the rotor by the pistons on that side, right? Or does the entire brake assembly (caliper?)move when pressure is applied to one side to place equal pressure on both sides of the rotor?
OK, I just went out and pushed the brake assembly side to side and there is slight movement, but when holding the brake lever there is no movement, so I answered my question. The entire caliper assembly should move.
In a few days I will take her by the dealer and see what they think.
