- Uneven braking from worn internal seals or corrosion
- Soft or inconsistent pedal feel related to caliper leakage
- Poor brake response from a damaged hydraulic caliper body
- Bleeding problems caused by worn bleeder screw components
Installation Notes
Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and verify the fluid type on the master cylinder reservoir lid before service. Clean the mounting surfaces, inspect hoses and pads, and bleed the system thoroughly after installation. For floating caliper mounting pins, use silicone grease as recommended. If the vehicle uses a bracket with this application, confirm bracket inclusion before installation.
Quality Assurance
Each Cardone remanufactured caliper is pressure-tested and rebuilt with new seals, bleeder screws, and other premium components to support reliable brake operation. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
