I posted a message recently about the rubber dust boot on the caliper piston (rt front) not seated properly. I can't get it to stay once i get it seated so it looks like a rebuilt caliper is in order. I really don't want to attempt a rebuild kit.

The choices and centric, cardone and beck arnley. Any advice on these?

Thanks
Gene

I just installed a pair of CENTRIC calipers on the front of my 1998 S70, along with stainless steel brake lines, mintex pads, & a fluid flush with super blue. I have no complaints. My brakes work better than they ever have. And for $40 per caliper(eeuroparts.com), I dont think theres a better deal. I mean, your gonna spend $15-20 for a rebuild kit. For me, it was worth the extra money to have prefessionaly rebuilt calipers. They looked brand new out of the box and perform very well.

OEM are $90 from FCPGroton, not a bad price.

Did you check on the prices from a Volvo dealer? Good luck.
