Default Front Driver side Caliper Seased.

Hi guys I have an 05 with a seased front caliper. Any idea what other vehicle has the same one? Does 4 runner or any other Toyotas have the same caliper?
Thanks guys

Why not just go to the parts store and buy one with a lifetime warranty? Especially with how common caliper issues are with these trucks.

Just go to AutoZone and get a lifetime re-built caliper. Its the pistons that seize, it has to do with rubber slip gasket on the inside. Trust me. Its just worth it to replace it and return the old one to get your core-charge back.

Globalinx,

Can I ask why you're asking what other toyotas use the same caliper? Your local parts store should be able to tell you. Are you looking to get a caliper from a yard?

The only thing I would add is to replace both front calipers, not just the one side.

Good luck.
