I hate to say it, but I would buy a Centric rebuild kit, and clean/rebuild that calipers to see if that fixes the problem, if not, well you may be on your own. Also Advance brake products are trash, should of at least went with Auto Zone or NAPA.

from my understanding 1982-1988 where iron calipers...and 1989-1992 where aluminum....they are still trash..though i heard the 82-88 were much worse..i had drums in the rear prior to the swap.... my rear end now is off a 89 posi borg warner 3.45 .

The Centric rebuild kit is to rebuild the caliper??? Can i just buy an aftermarket one? I thought autozone was trash lol.....thats why i went to Advance
