Default Beware the rebuilds.
They are usually not electroplated and thus corrode quickly, leading to the same parking brake issues.

Default I just installed a kit from Blauparts. New calipers, I think.
I needed everything, so I went with the caliper kit and added carriers. Easy install and no problems. Includes hardware, hoses and clips 'n stuff.

Part # D2C1007-D for my vehicle. $280?
