Product Details

Cardone’s Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket line focuses on remanufactured brake hydraulics that match OE fit and function while using new premium wear components. For this part, the caliper arrives with the bracket and hardware kit, and the remanufacturing process replaces critical seals with high-temperature EPDM rubber and uses a rust-inhibiting finish to help maintain service life. This part number, 18-B4524, is a direct replacement choice for rear brake service on Saturn compact cars and wagons, including Saturn SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, SW2, and SC rear right applications.

This part cross-references Saturn 21010551 and 21012180 for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Rear brake drag caused by a sticking caliper piston or slide hardware
• Uneven braking or pull during stops on the rear right side
• Brake fluid seepage from worn seals or damaged hydraulic components
• Soft or inconsistent pedal feel related to caliper hydraulic wear
• Noise or poor brake response from a worn rear caliper assembly

Installation Notes

Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and replace fluid from a sealed container. Clean and inspect the mounting surfaces, brake hose, and related hardware before installation. Floating caliper pins require silicone grease, and the system should be bled thoroughly after installation to remove air. Verify the inlet and bleeder port thread sizes before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone caliper is remanufactured to strict quality standards and pressure-tested before release. The process uses new premium components, including seals and service hardware, to support reliable brake operation and OE-style fitment for Saturn rear brake repair.
