Hello again. The last time I was working on the front calipers of '91 740 I noticed that the rubber boots on the slide was torn. I tried to find new slides off of IPD, FCP Euro and Swedishautoparts and came up with nothing. My concern is that the elements will get into the slides and cause them to rust/stick, effectivly wearing my pads out faste. Am I able to replace the slides or do I have to buy new calipers all together? I hope it's not the later, I don't have enough to buy one new caliper, none the less two.

 

does yours have the single sided single piston Girling calibers, with ABS? are you talking about the boots on the slide pins, or the seals on the piston ?

Various kits with combinations of these bits are available from Volvo dealers. 271352 with just hte slide pin boots is $18 from Volvo Parts Webstore
Repair kits Front wheel brake.

 

Sorry that I wasn't specific. It's the rubber boot for the slide pins, not the pistons. And they're bendix calipers without ABS.

 

hmm, VADIS lists Girling W/ ABS, Girling WO ABS, and DBA (abs not specified). The booties for the DBA are listeed as 271282, which I think are on that same URL I posted above as #8 or #9.
