Detailed Product Overview

The BBB Industries 97-17304D is built for front and rear brake positions on select 1995-2000 Chevrolet C3500 and GMC C3500 models, plus 1997-1999 Chevrolet P30 and GMC P3500 applications. It is also listed for front left and front right positions on P30 and P3500 vehicles with rear disc and 13.86-inch front disc setups. The phenolic piston design helps reduce heat transfer through the caliper body, while the cast iron construction supports consistent brake system operation in demanding service conditions.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The BBB Industries 97-17304D is a direct replacement option for drivers and technicians servicing Chevrolet C3500, GMC C3500, Chevrolet P30, and GMC P3500 brake systems that require the specified caliper configuration.

Common Brake Issues This Part Can Address

• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area

• Corrosion-related caliper wear on older heavy-duty vehicles
• Brake drag or inconsistent pad contact from caliper wear

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify caliper position before ordering: front left, front right, rear left, or rear right.
• Confirm banjo bolt inlet and M10-1.5 thread specifications match the original brake line connection.
• Inspect brake hoses, pads, rotors, and mounting surfaces before installation.
• Bleed the brake system after installation to remove air from the hydraulic circuit.
• Use the correct copper crush washers where applicable for the banjo connection.
