Hey all,

driver's side front wheel seized up today, one of the pistons is stuck, '93 GS ..any ideas on a solution besides buying a stock caliper at the dealer?

...saw a few websites that sell the piston seperately, does this mean the stuck piston can be replaced? is it a DIY job?


Thanks,

Roland

 

Yes you can buy the pistons and replace them if the bore is ok. However, if moneys not too much of an issue, I'd go with a quality rebuilt caliper. Actually that a pair of calipers since you really should do them in pairs. At 10+ years old, it's due anyway.

Go to your local Auto Zone and pick up a pair of remaned callipers. If the piston is seized chances are the bore is toast. Brakes is one thing you dont want to cheap out on.....

 

Guess it's time for TT supra brake upgrade

 

Sorry to hear about that. Was there any warning or did it just happen out of the blue?

 

..I was having some heavy vibration/wobble from the front, also there was a smell coming from the left front wheel ... took it to a shop, the guy just said one of the front tire was bad, bought a used tire, but prob was still there ...took it back in, put it on the lift, left front wheel wouldn't turn an inch, found the piston stuck.

...as someone suggested, I checked autozone for a reman caliper ...they have it for $48 + my old caliper ...that's the best price I came across ..gonna go with it.


Thanks for the responses.
