OT - Would You Buy A Brake Caliper From An Electronics Vendor?
For those that are not familiar with newegg.com, they are a well known
source for computer parts, accessories and other electronics. I need to replace the brake calipers on SWMBO's car so I DAGS for the part number was surprised to see a hit from newegg. I did not know that they carried automotive repair parts. I clicked the link to check out the price. Maybe I should have bought the part on Cyber Monday. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9SIA5BT3GB1857 |

Just sayin' Seriously, why do you need new calipers? Are they rusted and frozen or leaking or what? Couldn't you rebuild them fairly easily? Rusted but no longer frozen. Left rear was hung up and dragging. I PB-Blasted it and exercised it 3-4 times and it seems OK - for now. Odds are it will last until mid-February when the temps will be in the teens with winds around 50 knots and 16" of snow on the ground. Repairs are done outside and doing repairs in those conditions really, really sucks. BTDT It needs pads anyway and for ~$75 each side I can get loaded calipers (pads, all new hardware, brackets, etc.) Basically Plug & Play. BTDT too. |

There are other brands of penetrating catalysts, but PB Blaster has worked for me on many occasions, including this one.

In the area I currently live, corrosion isn't a very big issue and I haven't dealt with it very much for many years. Which is nice as the life and total cost of ownership of vehicles can be much better. Wood rot, insect damage and wildfires are far more prevalent then rust. However, I am not trying to change the topic |
