Sticky Caliper
No sooner than the DAY AFTER I finish getting a tbelt and UCA's done I go to get my front tires balanced on one of those fancy hunter machines, I find out my pass front caliper is sticking....
The PO was kind of a chump when it came to maintenance and he did pads/rotors not long ago. By chump I mean amateur, I had to rent a gorilla from the zoo to get the old fram filter off when I did the first oil change. In any case I plan on doing rotors and pads but I can't decide what to do about the calipers. My questions are:
Do they need done in sets?
They appear serviceable, where can I get rebuild kits. Sewell didn't stock them
Most aftermarket calipers are about $75 but I found some at Advance for $45

Is there anything missing on those that make them cheaper?
I will flush out alot of the fluid too... These are not the original calipers. There was a receipt in glovebox from like 05 or 06 where a PO had done EVERYTHING. Pads/rotors/calipers etc on the whole car...
I'm trying to keep the cost down and the calipers are just a bit spendy for me to jump in and buy 2 if I don't need to
