HHR LT OEM Brake Capiper Bracket Model # ???
Can someone tell me the correct OEM part numbers for the front (duh) brake caliper brackets for the HHR LT (mine is a 2010). I cannot trust the part numbers at the aftermarket part places. Explanation below.
My HHR had a VERY DIFFICULT to see crack in the brake caliper bracket. I needed my car running and a hairline fracture bothered me, so I hunted high and low and drove a long distance to obtain parts that day. I replaced the bracket, caliper, rotor, and brake lines.
Everything was great. For two months.
I ignored the issue for I did not immediately see a problem (without complete disassembly). I finally decided to fix it this weekend.
The rotors are under warranty, so I picked up replacements. When pulling the old (finally), I saw the abnormal pad wear on the driver side. It was obvious. First thought was that I had the wrong size rotor given to me. When I pulled the passenger side, and then matched the replacement parts to the parts on the vehicle, I found them all to be the same size. Conclusion: bracket on the driver's side that the parts store sold me was not the right size.
The numbers I can find on the brackets are:
passenger (correct size) 44-022 | 32671
driver (incorrect) 44-023
I know that one of these was an AC Delco, but I cannot cross reference this number on their site at all.
I am going to assemble with new rotors and old pads and drive for one week while waiting for the bracket to arrive. I just need to know which one to order. I am guess a cross reference part number is 141163, but I have seen 141171 listed as the exact fit number too (these are Cardone). HELP!!
