Other than ebay for reconditioned calipers is there an actual shop in Australia that sells brand new ones?
I have a sticking caliper noise and wondering what to do next is all.
Thanks ahead.

I don't think you can get new calipers any more for this model. Next option would be to either recondition your calipers or get reconditioned calipers.

Reconditioned is the closest to new you will get...Unless you are lucky enough to find someone selling old stock, which is possible...

I have a spare VS caliper pair to recondition 1 day......
I did sell a pair last year to a guy who said they were going to adapt to fit on a old ford as he couldn't get a seal kit for whatever old calipers someone had previously installed.

Is there any difference between ABS and non ABS calipers ?

No difference. The ABS is built into the hub.

PBR was selling them up until they shut down after Holden and Ford closed.

You can get caliper slide pins if that is the only problem.

Lol that reminds me of a guy I used to work with. He was the 2IC and we had a rattel in a caliper so he ordered caliper pins. I told him it was the mounting bracket that was worn as it's softer metal than the pins...... So I install them take the car for a test drive and the noise was still there he didn't believe me so he took it for a drive and he came back red faced lolololol.

I might have to start offering caliper bronze bushing when I get my house as I have a lathe and saving for a mill.
