    Default WTB: left rear caliper for '99

    I'm still scratching my head about the left rear caliper not working. I'm thinking about swapping a different unit in to see if that's the issue. Anyone have one sitting around?

    Thanks

    1.6 rear calipers are the same as 1.8 rear calipers. Only the bracket is different. We have some at TDR.

    After talking with Gary yesterday about it, he suggested that I check for heat on the rotor after driving. I did that this morning after driving to work and it was noticeably cooler than the right side. Thus far I've: bled a little fluid from the line to confirm that it is not blocked; I've confirmed that the caliper slides freely on the pins; and I've spun the wheel (while it was off the ground) and stopped the wheel with the brake pedal. I'm running out of ideas unless it's the caliper itself is malfunctioning... I guess I can bleed the line completely to make sure there are no air bubbles farther up the line...

    How much for a caliper?

    Give Gary a call. I'd suspect a sticking caliper piston.

    Gary said he doesn't have a left rear caliper for a '99. Anyone else?

    Why not get a rebuilt one from one of the many parts stores in town I'd rather do that than put junkyard parts on it.

    Panic motorsports will ship one to me for practically nothing... Less than half of what NAPA wants. Too good to be true?
