I think my calipers are going bad. I live in arizona so there is no weather wear. I only have 60k on the car. I dont want to go buy new ones, is there a way to service them?

 

Yes, but its easier to just buy rebuilt ones.

 

cant you lube them?

hope these helps. there are instruction for brake disassembly. the rears are similar to the front.

 

You can relube them, but its a PITA to do. You have to take the caliper off the car, pop out the piston with air, clean, replace seals, regrease, and reassemble. Rebuild kit costs ~$30 to do both. Rebuilt caliper is about $40 for one.

 

#1. Dub whos that girl in your avatar....?
#2. Where did you find the rebuilt caliper for 40bones... ? man i just did both rears and they were 100 a piece after the core charge.

 

I think auto zone charges $90 and some change for 1 caliper. Minus the $45 core charge it comes out to about $40 per caliper.

 

I believe the rear calipers and almost double what the fronts are. That said, I think getting the rebuilt calipers are way better than trying to rebuild. It took me a set of rotors (warping) to realize my calipers were starting to stick. If you have the money for it, when it comes time for new rotors, I would definitely swap out the calipers--depends on your situation though.
