Rear Caliper Piston Dust Boots
#1219946 - 04/19/06 03:21 PM

Ok, so I just got new rear calipers and while disassembling them (to get them powdercoated), of coarse, I ended up ruining both dust boots.

I can't seem to find them anywhere except the dealer and it looks like the kit I need is $127 for both sides.

Anyone know where I can get either just the outer dust boot or some kind of rebuild kit fairly cheap? I only paid like $35 for each caliper so I don't want to spend too much on these things.

TIA

Did you check rockauto.com? I have also ordered rebuild kits from http://www.advanceautoparts.com/ and have been very happy with them.

I just powdercaoted mine with the pistons and seals still in the caliper and masked around them with fiberglass tape - worked like a charm!

Yeah, I thought about just leaving them assembled since they get pretty warm during braking anyway, but I figured better safe than sorry.

Did you order rebuild kits for the front or rear. I can't seem to find anything for the rears but I can find them for the fronts all day long.
