Caliper Sticking

[Anthony Poli]

Hi folks,

CAn somebody give me some helpdul information on how to track down the correct part number for a nsf caliper for a 2000 corolla 1.4 vida.

Nearly had a fit after a quote from my local toyota dealer (£335)

Thanks

Hi,

Other than the scrap yard you might not find any alternative to Toyota as its not a regularly replaced item.

Out of interest why are your replacing the whole unit - have you cracked the housing ? - most bits are replacable, eg the sliders and perhaps the piston /seals.

I'm going by what the dealer said, they were supposed to have repaired the calipers when i had it in for the brakes sticking, the OSF is fine but the NSF is still sticking .

Hi,

Well as far as I know it must be either the Caliper slide bolts that cost about £30 a set or the actual Piston / Seal that are sticking - the Piston normally just needs a new rubber seal - you could get rubber kits - not sure about this model.

Other than those items the caliper body where those parts fit could be badly worn ? - hard to say without seeing it.

You could always try another garage for a second opinion - most drive in places will give a free inspection /quote.
