    Can someone have a look give me a clue. I've been away for so long from my project car. Time to catch up

    Looks like someone has converted my maverick

    But to what I don't know but looks like the rotor and calipers needs to be replaced as well.

    What year is your car? That might be the stock stuff if it is a later one.

    they could be a late model swap but need to be changed...calipers, pads, rotors bearings, seals and rubber lines...
    I would check...all front end bushings, upper and lower control arms, tie rod ends and M/C...:yup:

    Dang, where was that car stored, in a pond? My calipers sat under my parts car for five years, sitting on blocks, and didn't look like that.

    I'm with Frank, most of that stuff will need replacing, or at least a good cleaning!

    It was in Sask but alot of gravel roads so I guess the previous owners didn't clean it after running around. Hard to give good cleaning just now it's -20 outside

    Yep, I'm planning on getting a suspension kit. But I think I might spend the extra and get the new coils and such as well the Laurel Mountain kit.

    But still to figure what size for caliper and rotors. Will take them off and see what I can find

    Also forgot to ask how do I see if it's a 3 bolt or 4 bolt for the ball joint
