I own a 98 S70 with 147,000 Kms (90,000 miles) on it and I'm having a problem with the rear brake calipers. It seems I am only getting one year or 12,000 miles out of a set of rear calipers before the pistons seize. I know the pistons have seized as the rotors get heavily rusted.

At $200 a caliper every year, this is going to bleed me dry.

Is anyone else having problems with their rear brake calipers on their S70?

What should be the normal lifespan of rear brake calipers on an S70?

Thanks.
