If not, pay close attention to your rear calipers and brackets!! Both of my calipers were locked up solid on the slides. It had nothing to do with my negligence, just a poor design for the bolts and slides and the fact my car sees 400 miles a year. :crazy2: The previous owner never greased the slides and so they rusted and became locked inside the bracket. It was a pain in the ass to fix, thankfully Dorman makes new brackets and most good aftermarket re-man loaded calipers (Cardone, Wagner C&W etc.) come with brackets and hardware. I drilled and tapped a grease fitting into the back of the bracket so it will never happen again. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I just don't want anybody to have to go thru what I did. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
