gone the driver side outside pad still looks ok. the passenger side pads look much better. what is actually grinding - not every time i brake however - is the upper caliper bolt on the driver side touching the most outside edge of the disc. the truck is not pulling to either side when breaking nor does it seem that the break performance degraded in a noticable way. when looking at the pads and caliper piston through the little openings in the caliper housing i noticed that the rubber boot covering the piston is damaged hanging loose looking rotten. the dust cap however seems intact. i will run to the store to check what a new one is supposed to look like. found a couple good articles on the net two but the pictures dont show that part in the detail needed for me to make a decision. http//www.extremehowto.com/xh/article.asparticleid=60246 http//autorepair.about.com/od/fixityourself/ss/brakepadreplace.htm http//www.pavementsucks.com/tech/caliper.php http//home.insightbb.com/%7ejbenner/mods/brakejob.htm here my questions - does it seem normal that the driver side pads are used significantly more than the passenger side again the truck does not pull side ways when breaking. the truck is equipped with standard rear wheel anti lock break system in other words there is nothing controlling pressure between the left and right front its one line coming from the combination valve to the t that splits between the left and the right. however the break lines to the left side are obviously a lot shorter then to the right. dont know if that contributes to the different usage. it seems odd however. - do i need to replace the caliper again because the dust boots are gone i am ok with the pads replacement but the caliper should last longer than 2 years. is there potentially a caliper repair kit available or is it not worth the effort thanks for sharing your experience. axel 2000 dodge ram 1500 pickup 5.9l 104000 miles . 222 333933 1177387504.044351.79440@y5g2000hsa.googlegroups.com on apr 22 248=ef=bf=bdpm azwiley1 azwil...@cox.net wrote ok all i am in need of a bearing and seal kit for my transfer case. =a0a= nyone have a good source for parts that will not rob me blind in the process =3d=3d=3d=3d=3d=3d=3d =3d=3d=3d=3d=3d=3d=3d youve got mail marsh .
