Caliper from RockAuto

My rear left caliper is still sticking or binding. I am ordering this caliper from RockAuto.com and want to make sure CARDONE is a good brand. Why it is so cheap?

There are many parts on Rockauto that are way cheaper than OEM. I've used a pretty good variety and haven't had any problems except (ironically!) Cardone. I purchased a Cardone drive axle from Rockauto and it had the incorrect number of splines. I then picked one up locally at NAPA which also had the wrong number of splines. When I returned it, I learned that their supplier was.....guess who? Cardone. So needless to say, I won't be buying anything from Cardone again. If they can't get something as simple as the right number of splines on a drive axle, there's no way I'd trust them with something important like a brake caliper.

I just purchased 2 brembo reman calipers from them and will be installing them this weekend so i don't have any down time on my daily driver (type s). i talked to one TL owner who is a manager at o'reilly's and he says he has sold many and hasn't seen any come back with errors. they came out to 60 bucks each after returning cores.

you should be fine.

A caliper is a caliper, very few parts, so I'd say go to go on any rebuilt unit.
