Refuge Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 So about 30K ago I busted a boot on the caliper and I feel like after driving it cross country It is losing performance. Do you know if there is a rebuild kit that could fix it? Maybe take the pistons out of the caliper and clean them of rust? When do you know you have to replace em? (If you neglected em) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Any parts store will be able to get you a rebuild kit. There are diferent fit's i believe so you may be able to just get the boots if that's all you want. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

whitetiger Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 rebuilding is fine if the pistons still move. if a piston is seized up, then its just easier to replace the whole caliper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 You can get rebuild kits and pistons right from Subaru, if the boot has been torn a while you will need a piston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
