***Brakes question***

I recently bought a used 06 with 170,000 miles and have 2 questions I hope someone can give me some input

1. One rear brake pad was worn down to the metal on the inner side and the rotor is worn as well only on one side of the rotor. I’m going to replace both rear rotors and pads. Should I replace the calipers too since the rotor was unevenly worn?

2. Thoughts on transmission drain and fill at 170k if service history is unknown?

bonus question: TRQ Chinese brakes, does anyone have experience with using them?

 

I would get everything needed to replace the rear brakes. Minus the caliper if you think it's still good. By your avatar it looks like you're in snowy area. Maybe replace calipers??? Try looking at Brakeperformance.com. They have everything you would need at pretty good prices and free shipping. Good luck!

 

Welcome! I would try to free up the stuck caliper. If it takes too much effort or seems to be too far gone, replace with OEM. If you want to stay out of those brakes for a long time, consider replacing both calipers, rotors and pads with OEM. Genuine OEM parts can be a little more expensive, but I've never had early failure of an OEM part, nor fitment problems.

 

If you have access to an air compressor, consider rebuilding the calipers yourself. Buy a rebuild kit from the dealer (inexpensive) Lots of youtube video on how to do this...fairly simple.
