These are original single piston front calipers on a 96 legacy Brighton wagon. It's late 95 production year. Every set I get seems to be wrong. Import experts even had their warehouse guy look in the package. What I have is three thumb sized dust boots for the slides (all a little different), the square shouldered o ring and the piston dust boot. What they're sending, and everywhere else I checked (rock auto etc) is two thumb sized dust boots (identical), the right o ring and a piston dust boot that is different from original and looks like it wont work.

 

In the meantime I just cleaned everything up, (the old boots were dirty but not ripped) and reinstalled. I almost think I can leave it at that but thought I'd try to find the right kits for in case.

 

Hoping someone has run across the differences in front calipers and can advise.

 

Thanks

Call them with a VIN to make sure you get the right part.

Thank you. If after cleaning up and reinstalling the old boots and o ring everything looked in good shape and didn't leak, would you go through the trouble of reinstalling new rubber? Thought I'd ask. I'll be getting a new kit but can I leave it for now?

The piston seal would be my only real worry since that's the really important part. The dust boots for the slide bolts don't generally have to be replaced unless they're split. But for as cheap as the kit is, new boots are a cheap investment to prevent rusted/seized caliper slide bolts.

10-4 on all that. I just didn't want to have to tear it all apart again. The old o ring seems to be holding fine and the dust boots are good. I'm going to keep an eye an the seals and order the kits for in case.

 

Thanks for your help. I did a test drive and came back with smoking wheels but I think it's just everything seating in and burning off junk. Took the wheels off and everything looked A okay. No leaking break fluid.

RockAuto is having a close out on a lot of the BD items. check their website.
