i went to autozone looking for the rubber grommets that go where the brake caliper guide pins push through and they told me that if they arent in the HELP!! aisle then they dont have them. So i look and of course they dont have them, so i make them punch it in the computer and still no luck, where the heck can i find these? they're rattling bad without the grommets

 

You can either check the brake hardware kit they have for the front discs (Brakeware part number H5610) or you can buy a rebuilt caliper for $12. Its not that they dont have what you are looking for, you just have to know where to find it.

 

the brake hardware kit didnt have it, or atleast the one they showed me...if i replace the caliper i have to bleed the fronts huh?

 

Yeah, you'll have to bleed them. Of course its always better to do your calipers in pairs also. (like most things on your brake system) Im surprised the hardware kit doesnt have them, but for $12 a caliper im sure you wont be hurting if you have to swap them.

Good luck.

 

go to pepboys, not autozone. from what ive heard they suck. i work at pepboys and we carry that bushing kit ur talkin about becuz i replaced mine one day at work and its like 6 bucks or something. if u can hold off till like tomarrow or thursday ill b able to get u a part number and price.

 

thanks, a part number would be great

 

Yep, Pep Boys will have a "bushing kit" for them which has what you need. I swear AZ has them too. Maybe the counter guy was a bit sloooowwwww.

I have had that exact same problem at Autozone with PCV grommets. I had bought them there once before and by some miracle the guy behind the counter actually had a clue what was going on, and pulled out a Motormite catalog. This time though, I asked them for the part number and specifically told them it was in a catalog behind the desk and wasn't in their computer, yet the guy ignored me and spent 5 minutes trying to find it on their computer and told me they didn't have them when he couldn't find them. For some reason, this guy couldn't comprehend that there was a paper catalog behind the desk and he had to go get his manager, who came over and actually started looking for the catalog I was talking about, and sure enough he pulls it out from right in front of where the guy was standing, finds the part number, walks over to the aisle and finds it.

I've had a lot of experiences like that, with a different employee every time and at many different locations, so I very rarely go back to them. If you have to go back, have them check for a Motormite catalog behind the counter.

 

or the guy didnt know what he was talkin about.

 

no one at this autozone ever knows what they're talking about

 

alright got the part numbers and prices.

for the inner caliper bushing kit its H5201-2 and its $2.99
for the outter caliper bushing kit its H5202-2 and it too is $2.99

i looked these part numbers up by just guessin on any camaro/firebird from 85-82 and the part numbers are the same and should be for 82-92 since all had the same front calipers.
