Rear caliper starts to leak at several spots. It could Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Anders, where do they start to leak? ..., Uwe K., Tue, 21 Oct 2003 00:57:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
be behind the 14mm adjuster plug (you don't see the leak until the plug is removed) or at the parking brake arm or at the piston seal itself.
Come to think of it, I recall the parking brake arm is where I have seen the most leaks.
I never use anything else than Saab OEM slave cylinders.
As for master cylinder, I use the Lockheed one (which is the Saab OEM).
For some or another reason, the aftermarket slave cylinder here in the States are of a bad quality (we use to call them "Italian made" ones, but not quite sure if they still come from Italy).
I can see the difference between the two from the surface of the aluminum housing.
Saab OEM have a matte greyish finish as where the "other" one have a slick glossy surface.
The "other" also comes with the spring loaded bellow nowadays.
