Default Need help sourcing a rear caliper piston dust boot...

Anyone know where I can get one, I can only find one for the front. My fiancés car has a torn boot which caused the caliper to drag so I need to clean and rebuild it.

TIA

Default Well I finally found a part number...

and will hopefully grab a kit tomorrow.

Here it is for future reference, note it is made by Centric (non OEM):
143.38007

Not bad at around $6.

I think I saw these at Rockauto.com. Just make sure that the piston still moves smoothly before you waste any time restoring. Those bloody rear calipers are a pain.

Default Thanks, can't believe I forgot to check there...

I looked this morning and they do carry them!
I already got the boot elsewhere and got everything back together yesterday. The caliper wasn't bad at all, just cleaned everything up and she looks and works great.

Thanks again.
