Brake calipers??
« on: 23 March 2008, 22:25:26 »
Are the rear brake calipers on a facelift 2.5 v6 the same part as on a mini facelift 2.5 v6??

I need to order new rear calipers as mine aren't acting on the inside pad on both sides

Get some off a scrapper, never seen any fail yet.

The 2001 model year onwards V6 had vented rear discs so the calipers are a little larger. Other than that, the earlier facelift ones are the same.

remember also that all Omega rear discs/calipers are the same despite engine size.

If you're taking the calipers off to replace, why not strip and service them first. It sounds as if they are not sliding on the mounting bolts properly and this could be an easy and cheaper fix.

Rears are twin pistons so no sliders  :y
