Re: Brake shimmy on 01 JGC V-8
Hi robirwin
The NAPA pads and rotors are always a good choice as are the Wagner and Bendix name brand parts.
Go for the higher end parts. You do get what you pay for in brake parts.
As for the calipers, "arn't stuck" isn't always a safe way of deciding whether to replace them or not. It is the potential for problems before time for the next brake job that should be considered.
What miles on the vehicle?
How many brake jobs done?
City or highway driving?
Your temperatures are high where you live so the rubber parts will have suffered.
For the cost of the calipers - about 40 each after the cores are returned- they might be a worth while investment...
Some suppliers have "loaded calipers" where you get the pads, calipers and new install parts all in one pak.
Decide what you want and see what you can find.
At the very least, suck out the old brake fluid from the master cylinder (with a turkey baster) and refill with new and bleed the calipers till the fluid runs clear. Keep the reservoir full........
