I need to replace the brake calipers on SWMBO's car so I DAGS for the part number was surprised to see a hit from newegg. I did not know that they carried automotive repair parts. I clicked the link to check out the price.
Maybe I should have bought the part on Cyber Monday.
Why DAGS? I find the cheapest best fastest car parts by using WTDS...and their CRI is phenomenal.
It looks like they are just competing with Amazon by brokering things from 3d party sellers. Your part is really coming from these guys
A brake caliper for $15,310! Is it a replacement part for a space shuttle?
And that's after a discount of almost $4K!
I'll take four....... ;-)
It's tough to be competitive when you up-charge the original vendor by 20,739%.
I just put the full set of calipers in my cart. ~$42K Total.
Keep in mind: These are loaded calipers, so the pads are included. Just sayin'
Seriously, why do you need new calipers? Are they rusted and frozen or leaking or what? Couldn't you rebuild them fairly easily?
Rusted but no longer frozen. Left rear was hung up and dragging. I PB-Blasted it and exercised it 3-4 times and it seems OK - for now.
Odds are it will last until mid-February when the temps will be in the teens with winds around 50 knots and 16" of snow on the ground. Repairs are done outside and doing repairs in those conditions really, really sucks. BTDT
It needs pads anyway and for ~$75 each side I can get loaded calipers (pads, all new hardware, brackets, etc.) Basically Plug & Play. BTDT too.
Is this PB blasting?
That made me shudder.....
That be the stuff. There are other brands of penetrating catalysts, but PB Blaster has worked for me on many occasions, including this one.
Interesting. In the area I currently live, corrosion isn't a very big issue and I haven't dealt with it very much for many years. Which is nice as the life and total cost of ownership of vehicles can be much better.
Wood rot, insect damage and wildfires are far more prevalent then rust. However, I am not trying to change the topic
