Replacing Front Calipers, but I have a question...
 

Hello all. I hope everyone is having a good holiday season. A quick question for anyone you might know...I need to replace my calipers (Very rough shape, and one is seized) and I was thinking of going with the Autozone option. However, they list their replacements as a two piston design. I know the stock is single, so will they actually work? I'm sure it works in theory, but I wasn't sure if their was a size/space issue. Thanks! :)


Again, Happy New Year!

The front calipers are a two piston design.

Look at the calipers in the top of this pic, you can see two pistons in each caliper.

DOH! I replaced the rears a few months back, and I must have just forgotten the fronts were dual. :rolleyes: Thanks for the pic!

Be careful with the AZ remanufactured ones. They're the best price, but when I went that route they were terrible. I got one installed and it wouldn't release. There was a TON of friction between the pistons and the caliper itself...almost like when they rebuilt it they took out the pistons, painted the entire caliper, and then jammed the pistons back into their holes despite the added friction from a thick layer of paint or two. I immediately took it off and returned it to AZ. Instead, I just rebuilt mine. Not a bad job, and I know the how to docs are available from members here.
