1996 Chrysler Town and Country Repair Question
Mileage: 164,000 miles.
What would cause the caliper to hang up like this?
Asked by justamom003Answer
Where guide pins and sleeves inspected or replaced? fluid in master cylinder flushed ie. replaced with new? rotors checked for true?
The caliper was completely rebuilt and, pre-loaded with pads. The rotor was new at the first install and, turned at the second install. Additionally I replaced the flex hose. The brake fluid was not flushed but, a few monthes prior to this problem the brake lines failed and, were replaced. During that repair almost all of the brake fluid was lost and, subsequently replaced.
Not the caliper itself asking abpout hardware that mounts to frame
The two bolts that hold the caliper to the spindle were new, greased and, sliding freely. It is the caliper piston that has been failing
What moves piston back is the tension on square cut sealing ring. Pads will stay in contact with rotor. Your saying piston locks and rotor will not turn? are these new or reman calipers?
