Phenolic caliper pistons
Posted to Technical Discussion Forum on 11/9/2018 18 Replies

Seems to me these are not good. Does anybody have a rebuild kit with steel pistons for rear calipers? I checked NAPA and Autozone. No luck. I had this problem "Brakes binding after pad replacement"on a 1978 Plymouth Valarie I owned in the 70's. Repaired with a steel piston from NAPA. Cant find any for 2002 Chevy Silverado on rear. Cant believe GM went to these. My 02 Silverado both rear caliper binding, cant turn wheel when off the ground. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any help you can give me.
