All,
During my recent pad change, I noticed that one of the guide pins on one of my rear calipers was corroded. So went to the Tasca website and began looking. I couldn't find it, but the chat window popped up and I asked Joy. She found it, listed as CALIPER SUPPORT RETAINER KIT - FORD (AY1Z-2C150-A). If you type in this part number, you'll get a nice diagram showing bolts, boots and guide pins. Perfect! I ordered two sets, just in case the other pins corrode.
When the parts came in, I was disappointed to find the contents of the package did not match the diagram. As you can see in the photo, there are no guide pins!
Anyway, I called up Tasca today, and they say it's possible Ford mispackaged this part number. On top of that, they're on back order. The only other means to get these pins from Tasca is to order a caliper. Um, no thanks. They won't accept another order until they come off of back order(which is odd, since I when I ordered the pads, those were also on backorder, and Tasca accepted that order just fine).
So, I'm stuck. :dead:. This sucks, because up until I got the parts, I was totally happy with the sleuthing/ordering experience. I don't suppose anyone else has had to replace these guide pins?
