Proper brake calipers


Recommended Posts

OK now its my turn. I am having problems obtaining the right rebuilt calipers for the front end. The small local parts supply house sold me DPI 18-4341, 18-4342 They are not the correct ones. :fs1: My 1989 MJ 4X4 has power brakes and NO ABS system, with 11 inch front rotors, and 10 inch rear drums with 1 3/4 shoes. I bought Wagners thermo Quiet pads part number MX 203 AKA MX 7122 and D28-48013 MADE in AMERICA, these seem to be the right pads for the caliper supports which are AMC 105913-01. What part numbers should the calipers be? or how do I obtain the correct ones. The parts house has the wrong part numbers in their book as I have read on these threads. Whats up - is the world that deceptive or CRAZY? :headpop: Even the new rotors seem to be the right ones Ctek 121.63003 (made in CHINA - JUNK).

Could one of you guys with some knowledge help my part house sell me the right rebuilt calipers for my truck? :help:

Thanks for your help in advance.

Maybe I will have my truck on the road by Christmas

Maybe I need go to Canada for my parts? :dunno:

I have read on other threads within this site, that people have had problems here in the States with brake part numbers at NAPA :eek:

Hey Red 1989 MJ - How do you like that AX-15 trans?

I'am embarassed to say the calipers were the right ones on the second try:oops:

The part house had the wrong numbers, so they just eyeballed the calipers on the second try. By my not taking a serious mental note of the assembly, it just looked like the caliper and support bracket did not match. I should have played with it like a puzzle, and I would not have had a problem.

So the brakes are on and the job is finished :thumbsup:

I bleed them tomorrow :chillin:
