Technical Description and Features

This remanufactured disc brake caliper is constructed from cast iron, offering strength and heat resistance necessary for effective braking. The gray rust preventative finish helps protect the caliper from corrosion over time. It includes two phenolic pistons, each measuring 48mm (2 inches) in diameter, which provide reliable hydraulic pressure transfer. The caliper comes with caliper slides and a mounting bracket to ensure proper fitment and alignment. The inlet fitting uses a banjo bolt with a 3/8-24 thread size, compatible with standard brake lines. Additionally, the package includes a bleeder screw (M10-1.0 thread) for brake fluid bleeding during installation. Dust boots are included to protect internal components from contaminants.

Compatible Applications and Common Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or leaking calipers on Jeep Commander and Grand Cherokee models
• Resolves uneven brake pad wear caused by sticking caliper slides
• Addresses brake fluid leaks from damaged or corroded caliper pistons
• Improves brake pedal feel by restoring proper hydraulic pressure
• Eliminates brake noise related to caliper hardware issues

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the 99-17721B caliper, ensure the brake system is properly bled using the included bleeder screw to remove air from the lines. Verify that the caliper slides and bracket are securely mounted to prevent uneven pad wear. Use the provided banjo bolt and copper crush washers to connect the brake line securely. Inspect dust boots for proper seating to avoid contamination. Note that brake pads are not included and should be replaced separately if worn.
