Caliper question.....

My front left caliper is sticking......pulls the car to the right when i brake and it takes a about 2 seconds for the caliper to release. My question is: Kragen has calipers for 14.99
Kragen Caliper <----- LINK... Is this the right caliper for STOCK replacment? Will this work? If so Im about to go redo my entire front brakes this weekend. Pads, hoses, calipers and rotors. Feeback is more than welcomed....

I would replace the brake hose(s) first. They have caused such problems in the past.

Thanx,ANDYZ28

If you do it with "budget" parts, these won't run you over $60-70, rotors extra. If you have to rip it apart anyway, might as well replace what you have to take off while you're in there.

I agree...probably the hose.
