do ABS equipped 4th gens use the same rear calipers as non ABS 4th gens?

My rear caliper may be seized, and I need a replacement quick. I have a doner '98 GLE to get one from but that car has ABS. My car does NOT have ABS. Can I still swap the unit or no?

Thanks

I just replaced both rear calipers on my 95SE a few months ago. The automotive parts store I went to never even asked me if I had ABS brakes. I just said I wanted rear calipers for a 95 Maxima and it was end of story.

So I believe the short answer to your question is NO. However, you should replace both rear calipers as the brakes are hydraulic and you will experience uneven braking if you play cheapskate and only replace one rear caliper. Also don't machine the rotors if they don't need to be as you are better off replacing them as they are rather thin to begin with.

My rear rotors were good to go.

I have ABS brakes by the way.

ABS doesn't matter for buying calipers (only when buying axles)
