If I could ask, how long did your OEM calipers last if the aftermarket ones only lasted 40,000 miles?

the front originals were replaced at 158k. against my recommendation, the PO let the shop use aftermarket calipers(as well as aftermarket front cv axles, which also are failing). each side has had several warranty replacements (no warranty this time). costing me additional in labor charges of $160/ea. what many shops don't tell you is the labor warranty may only be 1 year, even if the part has a several years warranty. you may get a free caliper, but not free labor.
when rear originals needed replacement at about 220k, i picked up toyota remans (also needed new brackets). we'll see how those hold up.
