Default Brake ??

I have a brake question for you JK wrenching experts. While I was doing my monthly checks of the jeep I noticed my brake fluid was a little low. I know I have about 20k miles on my brakes all around so I figured I might be starting to wear them out. So I decided to see if I could glance at the pads from behind the rotors. They look like they have some meat left on them but my issue is that when I grabbed the caliper and noticed it has a little wiggle in it.Only the rears. Is this normal? I checked the bolts and they are tight but while no one is steeping on the brake pedal they have a tiny bit of wiggle. Just wondering if anyone has noticed this on their jk.

If you haven't noticed any leaks or sweating I wouldn't worry about it. It could be just going down due to use on the pads.

The pads will wiggle a bit as they are on sliders and should have a bit of a wiggle. No wiggle is bad if its in the slider area. And... thats basically the only place the sliders can move assuming the two bolts on the caliper are tight.
