• Eliminates sticking or seized caliper pistons that cause uneven brake pad wear
• Improves braking performance by replacing corroded or rusted caliper bodies

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model using the part number 97-17009D. Ensure the brake system is properly bled after caliper replacement to remove air and maintain hydraulic integrity. Use the included bleeder screw and dust boots during installation to protect the caliper and maintain system performance.
