Installation Notes and Tips

This caliper includes a hardware kit but does not come with mounting bolts or brake pads, so ensure these components are sourced separately if needed. Use silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins to maintain smooth operation. Always follow OEM recommendations for brake fluid type and bleeding procedures to avoid low brake pedal symptoms. Verify bleeder port size compatibility (M10x1.0) before installation.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Cardone remanufactured calipers undergo rigorous testing to meet OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The phenolic pistons and oil emulsion finish contribute to durability and corrosion resistance. Installation hardware is included to facilitate proper mounting.
