Strange front brake noises, need some advice 200 87

posted by  someone claiming to be Ryan Bennett on  Fri Dec 1 14:32 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Hello everyone-

I'm having some weird noises coming from what I'm 99% sure is the front calipers. According to the service records, the front calipers were replaced in '96. Upon further inspection while bleeding the brakes, it looks as if low-quality calipers were used.

The driver's side caliper was damaged in the bleeding process, so my mechanic quick-fixed it with a caliper from the pick-n-pull. The passenger side caliper is now making strange sounds, and the fluid in the resorvoir has gone down a little since the bleed. I think I'm gonna play it safe and replace both front calipers.

What is a good price for a couple of good re-builds? The pistons tend to stick a little bit in the passenger side caliper, so I'm hoping this will solve my noise/sticking problem once and for all. The pads have about 80% wear left. Any advice from anyone who has done this job would be appreciated. Thanks!!
