Product Details

The Cardone Unloaded Caliper line focuses on remanufactured brake hydraulics with OE fit and application-specific hardware. Part number 18-4145 is rebuilt with premium replacement components, then 100% pressure-tested to verify sealing and brake performance before it leaves the remanufacturing process. This approach supports dependable front brake service on older Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth platforms that use a phenolic-piston original caliper design. This part cross-references Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth OE numbers 4126811 and 4126843 for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Caliper Can Address

• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Uneven front braking caused by a sticking or worn caliper
• Poor pedal response related to caliper seal wear
• Brake pull during stopping from caliper drag or seizure
• Corrosion-related caliper performance loss on older vehicles
