Hey guys, I have a 1988 924s. I have a stuck caliper on my passenger side, do you guys know how to fix it? Or if I have to replace it? I’ve looked online but I can’t find a caliper anywhere for the passenger side? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Will those 944 calipers work on a 924?

Or go with V-2’s GTO calipers and Dodge Caravan rotors if you have 16” wheels!

or take the caliper off and compress the puck with a “C” clamp then put it back on and pump it back up. Good time to put on new pads.

The OP has not defined what is stuck and how he decided it was stuck. Until, then the proper fix cannot be decided yet

We have refurbished calipers on the shelf if you need them.

The pre-84 base model 924 used a smaller front caliper with a 48mm piston, as did the non-sport 1980 924 turbo. All other sport/turbo/S models used the same calipers as the 944 single piston (54mm piston)

Mechanically, the 924S is an early 944 with late 944 rear swing arms.( early offset). The only thing the 924S has in common with early 924s is the exterior sheet metal and trim. Oh, the fuel lines are unique...The lines come up by the brake booster like an early 944, but routed to a late 944 fuel rail.
