How to replace brake caliper ?
My 2001 X5 4.4 had the infamous steering wheel shimmy/shake when breaking from 60 and more. Do you know how replace and where to buy brake calipers ?

We have articles for all DIY under 'Articles' section in link above
Here is brakes section - Brakes - Xoutpost.com You can buy brake pads and calipers from our sponsor ECS Tuning. www.ECStuning.com |
Why would you replace the caliper for a brake shimmy? It's most likely the bushings in the suspension, not the brakes. Even if it was caused by the brakes, it wouldn't be a caliper unless it was sticking, but more likely a brake rotor.

Or you can buy a caliper rebuild kit
if your old caliper is not seized , the bushes for the guide pins may be worn causing vibration , these are included in the kit . or it could be the road surface if it`s a one off event or very hot brakes can do this . |
