Leaking Rear Caliper.....
I keep going through rear calipers because they start to leak where the e-brake assembly is.
It will be the 3rd caliper going on the drivers rear. The Passenger Rear did the same thing years ago but I managed to catch it before it got bad and welded the pin that holds the spring on in place. Those pins always came out on me.
Unfortunatly it doesn't seem to be the same situation on the DR caliper this time. Pin is in and actually, thinking about it now, it may be to far in pulling the whole assembly to the side instead of keeping it straight.
Well since I made the thread ,anyone else have an issue like this? I think the caliper design is damn horrible and im about to have a shop fabricate up some brackets for different, more updated calipers just for reliability reasons.
I never hear about this issue, infact I think it was only once I heard about it, but it seems weird im always having this issue and no one that i know hasn't. I may have figured out the issue though while typing. I suppose one more caliper wont hurt.
