Front Dual Caliper modification done
Today I finished my front dual piston caliper upgrade on my 89 S15 Jimmy 2DR, 2WD. I pulled a steering knuckle with rotors, backing plates, calipers, hoses, hose bracket, hubs and all mounting hardware for $90 at a you pull it junkyard. I did end up buying new hub bearings from Detroit Axle, New AC Delco brake pads and new AC Delco duralast professional rotors (Non friction areas are painted). In the process I noticed my passenger side lower ball joint was bad so I installed new Moog upper and lower ball joints on both sides. I did not take any pics because it is so hot in southern Mississippi I was trying to get as much done in the shortest time possible. Test drive went great. The vehicle stops on a dime. This is on top of the other mods I have done in the last few months. I recently converted the rear drum to disc brakes and installed a G80 differential and at the same time installed new carrier bearings and axle bearings with a new ring & pinion gear set.
