Default Very common on GX and 4runners

this is very well known across the 4runners and GX models. They use the same caliper.

The inner piston boot usually causes the failure as the seat was defective from the factory. Supposedly there was a known design fix in 2010, UNFORTUNATLY after the new model 4Runner came out. There is no way to fix it or prevent it. I had 2 bad, rotors pads and calipers installed $1,100. If I understand correctly new OEM parts are fixed as well as oem rebuilt from dealer.

Thanks in advance!

p.s. Autozone sells Durlast calipers for our IS and the price seems pretty cheap so I'm questioning the quality.
By the way, are these the correct part number for the calipers and pads? #47850-53051, #47830-53051 for the caliper and #04466-53010 for pads
Ive had 2 calipers replaced so far. My mechanic got me some rebuilt ones for $140 each. Its unreal was a pos these things are. I put 160k on my VW and never had to replace a caliper before.
