Does anyone know where I could find or does anyone have a rear parking brake lever for an 89 GTA 305/5spd rear disc J65 axle (australian). GM part # 10132834. GM has discontinued this part. I also need 2-push rods and 2-lever return springs. It will also work of a 350tpi as I also have one as long as it's the J65 axle. I believe it will only work out of an 89-92 with the J65 axle. Most 88's and back aren't the same and GM carries those parts.

Thanks

the calipers are the same as ones used on 4th gens 93-96. use can use parts or just swap the whole thing over.

 

lol, your post sounds like exactly what I need. My pushrods are worn down and were rusted to **** too. I didn't know that the 93 to 96 were the same though! I may be in luck after all...

 

Are you sure they are the same? Does the parking lever/actuator/arm look the same as this picture? I'm at my wits end with this. Wouldn't the parts manager at GM know that and maybe suggest purchasing the parts from a newer Fbody?

 

You'll be VERY hard pressed to find those parts all by themselves. You're best bet will be to but a whole set of calipers just to get these parts, but then you'll have extra stuff.

so is that true is the 93-96 z's the same as the 88-92 z rear brakes will they interchange. Cause the junk yard might have some.

 

'93-97 actually, just to be **** about it, but yes. Everything except the e-brake cables, those will have to be for a 3rd gen.

sweet thanx ed. Do u think they have diff part number and the dealer might have some of the parts that r discontinued under 88-92

 

the parts should interchange, i have 4th gen calipers on my car now, the only difference i can remember was the spring for the lever.

 

Sorry 1 more thing about the 4th gen rear brakes. I seen the caliper do look the same but what up with that big circle thing the only pic i see is kinda far away. Does that have something to do with the ABS or will they still bolt up n work with third gen cables. Thanx alot

 

I have those big round things on my calipers in the shop. I hear they're for reducing vibrations or something like that, but they serve no purpose and do nothing. You can remove them if youd like.
