Re: last brake question
the difference between junkyard and reman is not that big and not worth the chance of getting one just like you have

Re: last brake question
these guys are right a cheapo one remanufactured should be right about $20 plus your core.. is it really worth messing with used for that??

Re: last brake question
Looks like the caliper is stuck and not floating as it should . That would be why the inside is worn away . The caliper sticks and the only real movement is the caliper piston . Check it real good and make sure it floats .
Now , What has it sounded like when the brakes were applied and did you notice the grinding resonating through the brake pedal ? Seems like it would be real bad . Looks like you are headed in the right direction with the new parts . Frank

Re: last brake question
no, it looks like the owner continued to drive on them knowing that they were bad.
