| 54560 mi C $100 |
Leaking rear seal on the drivers rear caliper necessitated a caliper replacement. |

Deteriorating brake hose created check-valve for brake fluid. Brake caliper seized up. Had to replace entire brake system on that wheel (hose, caliper, rotor, pads). This was the 3rd out of 4 wheels this had happened to; prior to discovering the cause was the hose, I put on almost a dozen calipers on various wheels, but the bad brake hoses would kill them within a few months. |
