    Do 1986 REAR calipers fit on 1988?

    Need to buy new calipers and can't find ANY at all at a reasonable price. Only right side is available on rock auto atm. Just need to know if '86 calipers are compatible with '88.

    Thanks.

    Wait, so you were at rockauto's website and couldn't look up this for yourself?

    Either I don't know how to use rockauto or it doesn't tell me it fits. The 1988 section are out of stock atm but they look identical to an 1986's and just wanted to make sure there wasn't any fitment differences. Sorry ?\_(ツ)_/?

    We're gonna go the "teach you to fish" route…

    Easy:

    On RockAuto:

    look up calipers for 88
    scroll down
    look up calipers for 86

    compare part numbers between the two (also application date range is usually shown when you click on the part number)

    if they are the same = interchangeable
    if they are different = no interchange

    Or:

    Go to nissanpartsdeal

    look up same info on parts diagrams they have for each model.


    You can also do this on autoparts store websites like NAPA, Oreilly, etc,,,

    Neat, thanks for teaching me this. Turns out they aren't interchangeable and now I'm back on the hunt for the elusive 44011-06P90 and 44001-06P00 lol.

    No problem, thanks for learning

    They aren't interchangeable because the hub on the 87-89 rear control arms is positioned outward 10mm further than the 84-86.

    The 84-86 caliper would not be center aligned to the disc when mounted to the 87-89 control arm bracket.

    You could shim it out 10mm if you absolutely had to, and had a source for the shims.
