front caliper seems to be sticking / dragging - replace or repair? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be jimbo on  Sun Dec 7 10:50 CST 2003 [RELATED]

The Bentley guide has you resorting to new bolts, nuts, screws, etc... on almost everything you do. The problem is that many of these (if not most) are dealer-only items and I have to drive 30 mins each way to the dealer and then pay relatively high prices for all that stuff. I learned this the hard way when changing my shocks and rear springs...I must have had $80 in new bolts, nuts, and two new lower shock absorber bushings which didn't look much like bushings to me (a hollow tube is a more apt description). I thought I'd ask though anyway with respect to the calipers since I wouldn;t want them coming loose and maybe even off which would be disasterous.
