Brake caliper leaking from the piston?

Hi,

For that to be the case, there can't be any pad left. Even then, the piston shouldn't extend that far.

I have a question. Since it is leaking from the piston, is the caliper you purchased a remanufactured part or is it new? If it is a remanufactured one, it may have had the same issues and wasn't properly repaired.

Let me know.

Chris, is there any pad left? If you are reusing them, I suspect they are still good, so that is why I feel you simply got another caliper that is faulty.

If it is possible, I would recommend trying to get a new part. When it comes to safety features such as brakes, if I can afford it, I always go with new parts.

Check out Rockauto if cost is a concern. Also, if you do get one from them, I can get you a 5% discount code, so let me know. One last thing. If you do go to their site, chances are the "New" calipers will be at the end of their listings for brake calipers. The remanufactured will be first.

Let me know. And just FYI, neither 2carpros nor I have anything to do with rockauto. I don't want you to think I get a kickback. LOL I've just had a lot of success with them, and the prices are usually the lowest around.

Take care,

Joe
