Replacing caliper(will it fit)
My brakes and rotor were very worn only on the rear driverside. Was told that it was caused by the caliper. The fastest way for me to get a new one is to get it from my local import junkyard. They only have a 1996 caliper in stock and I was wondering if it would still fit on my 2001.

Found one for the same year, just need a quick fix so I can get to a funeral in 2 days. All of the auto parts stores I called won't be able to get me one for 4-5 days.

To the best of my knowledge they are the same. For sure the brake rotor dimensions are so i assume the calipers are. If the spacing is a little bit off, a good temporary fix is longer bolts and a couple washers.

I ended up finding one from a car the same year as mine with not to many miles on it.
