Rear brake caliper carrier question...

So I replaced my ebrake cables last night, and when I did, I noticed that the left rear caliper was very loose. The carrier bolts were tight (where it bolts to strut assembly), and the guide pin bolts were tight...but it feels like the guide pins are really worn, causing the caliper to move all over. Anybody have any insight? Can I replace just the guide pins? Or do I have to buy a new carrier? If so, is the carrier the same in my CQ as the B4 90's?

TIA
Jake
