1 caliper or 2?
I am going to replace my right front caliper since it is gushing. My left front caliper looks good. Should I replace only the bad 1 or both?
Source for quality rebuilt calipers? Best pads? Thanks! Mark

Keep the sides the same. Replace one side, replace the other too.
If you only replace one side, it's a gamble if you will get a pull to one side or not. |

Parts Source
Quality calipers & pads - Check with Phil at the 'buy parts' tab up top.
I had good luck with Autozone rebuilt ATE's - don't get the pads there - no metallic pads.

Good point! I was concerned since my master cyl. is only a few months old and one good caliper would put a lot of pressure on the old one and make it more likely to fail. Never thought about the pull issue. Thanks FI!
