Default Hyundai trying to F*** Me Big time.

I'm getting my car ready for it's inspection.



I noticed my drivers side caliper slider pin dust rudder/Cover had a little split.



Few bucks too replace right ?





Spoke to hyundai, They said they can help me out and few other parts may need to be payed for. (I was expecting like the slide pin and the other rubbers so i agreed)



I got there, They wanted me to buy the whole Brake caliper costing over $450.



They said it can't be sold like i requested.



SO can someone help me find where i can buy them i can only find the mando Parts. Mine is a different brand.

If you just need the rubber for the caliper slider, just take one you have to an auto parts store and tell them your problem. I'm sure they can find a replacement for you. You seem to be making a big deal out of a small/simple problem.

You know what pissed me off.

I'v spoke to 6 Autoshops that keep telling me its Dealer only Parts. hell if u want i'll give u there number and you can ask them your selfs.



The only thing i can do is pay extra 75 dollors and get it from aboard.

Nope. Elantra use 5818029a40/ 5819029a40 Casted Calipers like the Coupe in uk. There bushes are bigger.



The only bushes that fit my caliper casting are the matrix 2001+
