Does the amount of brake fluid in the reservoir keep the caliper from releasing fully? My left rear doesn't release fully sometimes and I can feel it while driving and when I stop the whole wheel is hot. Or do I just need to replace the caliper?

I'd agree on replacing the caliper, unless there's something stuck in it causing the problem. We have new Mopar ones in stock, HTC price of 51.00 + shipping. Probably looking right around 60.00 for one delivered to you. Let us know how it turns out.

Working together to produce an ever greater abundance of material and spiritual values for all. That is the secret of American prosperity."
