Scorpio Rear Brake parts?

Post by Bob Weir »

My Scorpio's rear brake rotors need to be replaced and right rear caliper is leaking.

I appreciate any comments / suggestions regarding RockAuto's caliper repair kit Raybestos #wk1541s and Centric rotors #12161068.

I drive it for less than 5,000 miles per year, so there's no rational for putting expensive parts on it.

Hi Bob, I found brakes for my car through Amazon. I thought the prices were rather reasonable. Give it a shot. (I didn't get anything extraordinary either.)

and I can't delete the post… ummm..
… I didn't buy the rebuild kit, rather the rear calipers at a very reasonable price. This one is available for $54 and loaded:

Take the calipers to NAPA and have them send them to Dorman for rebuilding-~$75.

I know this is an older thread but I just got a pair of rear calipers from Amazon.

One came with the mounting bracket and the other did not.

Not sure how many they had left but just thought I'd let folks know.
