Technical Description and Features

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the 99-17342B caliper on Buick Grand Prix or Pontiac LaCrosse vehicles, ensure the brake system is properly bled using the included bleeder screw to remove air from the hydraulic lines. The included bracket and caliper slides should be inspected for proper fitment and lubrication before assembly. Note that brake pads and anti-squeal shims are not included and must be sourced separately. Use the provided banjo bolt and copper crush washers to secure the brake line inlet fitting, ensuring a leak-free connection.
