mechanical-idiot Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Dropped into a junk store yesterday. I didn't expect to really find anything. I was just wasting some time. I found a set of brake rotors (new in boxes). Copied down the numbers and went home to the Internet. Pumped in the numbers, and BANG! They fit the front of my wife's Journey! So, I went back and offered him 65 bucks for them both. He wanted 40 each, but he took the deal. I also picked up a drivers side Bosch wiper for 6 bucks. Wipers sell for 26 bucks here and the rotors sell on Amazon Dot CA for about 73 bucks each. The brakes on her Journey are the single piston caliper type (older smaller brakes). What a lucky day! Thank you God! When getting the pads, should we get ceramic or metallic? I have no idea what the difference is or wether one is better than another. I hope some of my luck rubs off on you guys today. mechanical-idiot Armando G 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey_puck Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Get ceramic. The dust they give off is minimal and doesn't show unlike the metallic. OhareFred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Make sure you have the rotors checked before installing them. Could be warped or worn beyond useful life. Armando G 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanical-idiot Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 They are brand new, never used, still in the original boxes. I think I will get Wagner ceramic pads for them. Unless someone can suggest something else that would work better. I don't know shit from grease about vehicles. All suggestions are welcome.

jkeaton Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Oh. I interpreted “junk store” as a junk yard. Wagners are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
