Where To Get A Caliper
I'm new to volvo's, just picked up my first `91 940 turbo sedan. Ive been working on getting it road worthy and I`m having trouble finding parts. IPD online and volvo world have been great for mail order parts, but neither of the sites offer calipers. My I've ordered two (Front passenger and rear passenger are both frozen) and twice my local autozone has given me the wrong part.
It's a 91 940 turbo, girling front calipers and solid rear axle with multilink in the rear. Anyone know a source for calipers?

You have to figure out what BRAND brakes your car has, could be one of several. Take them off and see if they are ATE, or Bendix, Brembo or something else. Then specify that when ordering. Even "experts" parts houses often forget that Volvo used various suppliers in those years. It could be a pain.

Thanks Tedv,
The obvious next question is how to figure out who made the calipers. For the front end, I pulled the tire and GIRLING was stamped in the side of the caliper. When I pulled the rear tire today to replace the rotor (Before I realized the caliper was shot) I specifically looked and didnt see anything stamped into the caliper.
Looking at both vlvworld.com and ipdusa.com there are differences based on IRS or solid rear axle, but neither site gets into manufacturer ID.
Thanks!
