Which caliper? You can visually identify them. You generally should replace them in pairs per axle. I've also fixed them by disassembling and cleaning out all the passages, they just bolt together.

a # of things have worried me about this post. first, brakes should bereplaced in pairs (except in very rare instances). my little girl hasa brain & can deal, but anything that old will "hang a louie" if thecalipers are mismatched old & new. second,year by year the 2xx seriesonly had one "system".  there were different component suppliers, buttechnically an ATE part should perform exactly the same as a Girling.third, the VIN is many,many  places on your vehicle-- it's not ahandgun, you cannot "file" off the serial #. why, don't you look wherei do, @ a piece of paper. the registration & title both have that #.finally, i admit most brake work is idiot's work, that is why midasexists. it is also lifesafety. given the ?s that you have asked;maybe, you should get some hands-on help. we all learned somehow.

wroteGood old Rockauto... I refer to them quite often: on "More Info" brings up pictures of calipers.From their listings, your front calipers will be Girling, then either solid orvented rotors. The rears can be Girling or ATE.
