Right Rear Caliper Moved On my 89 Iroc

My Caliper moved while I was driving so I pulled over and realized that it was missing the bottom bolt. So I went ahead and bought a bolt tightened it. On my way home from work I did it again but was worse. This time the Caliper moved all the way to the bottom and got pulled out the brake hose. I want to get a new replacement for the rear disc brakes I can't find any for the rear specifically.

Anybody know where I could get some?

An 89 with rear discs (J65) should be equipped with alum PBR's. Often called "performance" or 1LE calipers, they should be available from any parts store.

Re: Right Rear Caliper Moved On my 89 Iroc

If the caliper was ripped out of its mounting spot then in my opinion, something is seriously wrong back there. You need to take things apart and either get pictures for us or determine yourself what's wrong before just tossing another caliper on there. It's also likely you'll need more than just a caliper. Not to mention that they are bolted in to a bracket and if they've ripped through that, well, that's a mess.
