Yes.

not between the caliper and the knuckle-

But there is a washer between the bolt head and the caliper.
The caliper should sit directly on the knuckle- no washer in between.

ok thanks I didn't think there was suppose to be one in between the knuckle & caliper but my car did have them. I removed them. Thanks!

I kept the ones in between bolt head & caliper.

Am I completely misunderstanding the initial question? The brake caliper bolt has a hardened flat washer between the bolt head which is hexagonal and the caliper where it mounts to the knuckle flange.

Am I getting old and retarded?

The caliper would not be centered properly on the disc if there was a washer inbetween.

The initial question was if there was a washer between the caliper and knuckle. The thread title says "caliper bolt washers" sorta two different things.

So I wouldn't say old AND retarded. Maybe just one or the other....
