I was wondering where the best place is for parts? Where do most of you get your parts? Napa? Carquest? Checker? Champion? Autozone? Bumper to Bumper? Pep Boys?

I am thinking Napa as most shops seem to use them alot.

I am in the middle of a front brake job on my f-150 2WD and it looks like I need new calipers. (Lots of rust on them) Also, the drivers side caliper was sticking big time and the rotor would not turn without major help. So, doing new rotors (Brembo slotted), Hawk HPS pads and now it looks like calipers.

Also, how much rust should the outside of the brake line have on the end that goes to the caliper? The rubber hose is fine but the end is starting to look like my stock exhaust!

 

I go to any store but i get name brand parts and try to get MADE IN THE USA parts. The caliper you get should be a ford original that have been cleaned, repaired and resealed.

 

Thhe hoses go bad on the inside, so if you think its bad then replace them. How many miles on the truck?

 

76,000 on it. Original rotors, pads, calipers. The line looks good, nice and clean but the end is pretty rusty on the outside.

 

Ok, settled on Napa for my parts since no one else has chimed in . So, I am all set.
