Where can I get a oem caliper cheap? Well last weekend I hit the curb, and according to the dealership I messep the caliper and tie rod, and was wondering where I can get only one caliper at a good price, it seems that most sponsors dont carry calipers and the ones that do are very expensive. The dealership wants like $240 for one caliper, but if i tell them that I work at pepboys is like $170 which I think is still quite some.

Autozone has Fenco remanufactured stock calipers that are ~40 bucks with a 40 dollar refundable core charge. I put them on my car after I had stuck bleeder screws. I use the calipers for racing so they are plenty good enough.

NO... You buy a caliper, you only get a caliper.
If you work at Pep Boys, just get one through them. Advanced Auto parts sells them for like $45 without the bracket. What did you damage?

The dealership told me a while back that I had a messed up tie rod, caliper, brakes, and I replace all these with some new tires, and now they tell me they cant really align it good enough because of lower control arms, and was wondering how much are they, and how hard is to install them.
