Caliper guide-pin dust boots

Tags: #caliper · #part-number

Front brake caliper repair kits can include an incompatible dust boot (пыльник) — trial-and-error sourcing needed: one owner (Arсhi 77) replaced the repair kit on his front calipers, but the guide-pin dust boot included in the kit did not fit; he sourced a compatible boot from a different kit instead. He quietly swapped the mismatched boot back into its box and returned it to the marketplace seller rather than raising the mismatch — noting he has never had a return refused, even when returning several mismatched parts (e.g. CV joint parts) from the same order at once, and that dealing with fitment mismatches this way is just part of owning this car 12.

Confirmed compatible source — Zekkert BR-1364 caliper repair kit (also fits Subaru Forester SH): after searching by trial and error, owner KASPER identified a specific working source for the front caliper guide-pin dust boots: the Zekkert BR-1364 brake caliper repair kit. This kit is catalog-listed for Hyundai Santa Fe (2001+), Hyundai Sonata III–IV (1993+), Kia Cerato (2004+), Kia Spectra (2004+), and Mitsubishi L200 III (1996+) — none of which are FAW or Mazda models, illustrating that the correct cross-fit source is not obvious from the catalog application list alone. KASPER additionally confirmed the same guide-pin dust boots are available from a Subaru Forester SH source. Fellow owner Arсhi 77 confirmed the general sourcing lesson: for this part, you simply have to search by trial and error rather than relying on a listed part-number match 3456.

Practical takeaway: don't assume a caliper repair kit's included dust boot will fit the X80 even if the rest of the kit (pistons, seals) works — verify guide-pin boot fitment separately, and expect to try more than one source. The Zekkert BR-1364 kit and Subaru Forester SH parts are the two confirmed working sources reported by the community so far.
