The brackets that hold the brake pads to the rotors.

Thanks.

The rear pads are little fruity fairy pads. The front pads are big brawny manly pads. Definately incompatible...

You're asking about bracket and not calipers, right?

Front (Nissan Altima 2001-93, Nissan Maxima 1999-91):


Rear (Nissan Maxima 2001-95 ):


Left and right are interchangable.

Thanks guys. It's just that I looked it up online at the autoparts and seems to me that they give you different number for left and right front torque member. My front right is not as prestine as my front left, thus my question. The holes where the caliper bolt is sliding are pretty....rusty. I have one replacement though, and it's for the left front. Since they are interchangeable I just plug it in then.

They are interchangeable, the pads and the torque members, I've interchanged them, just did it today infact. I'm talking about left to right in the front.

I locked up a pin in my rear caliper bracket, thus i bought a new bracket, rotors and pads. So why does it make noise like the rotor isn't even, not all the time just after a stop or turn right? ANy answers, do i need a new caliper whats going on?

The caliper may be bad. After you drive for awhile does the rotor get hot like the brakes are stuck on the rotor?

Nope, after being in park and start driving it goes away after a couple of miles. i think the rotor is warping because of my caliper probably got really hot after the slide locked up. so your right its still the caliper, are their stickies for caliper replacement?
