Guys,

Front driver side caliper is sticking, Gm tells me a new one is discontinued. Where can I find a new one?DontKnow:

NOS?

Fairly common problem, take it all apart then clean out the bores and reassemble with new seals and you are done. $15 (or less) fix .

Other option is a re-manufactured one from your local parts store.

I've continually had front caliper problems on both my 3rd gen T/As.I've put new calipers on,new pins etc. It wasn't till I replaced the brake hoses on both that I cleared up the problems.

I think the hoses break down inside and cause hang up issues after all these years.

Just a thought...

Good point, I got Earls stainless braided hoses on mine as the OEM's are rubbish after a few years.

Hmmm, I will look into this.

However, who is a good outlet for NOS brake parts?:eam:
