Detailed Description

Cardone 18-B4724 is a remanufactured rear left disc brake caliper engineered for select Pontiac Grand Am and Oldsmobile Alero vehicles. It is supplied as an unloaded caliper with bracket, making it a direct service replacement for brake hydraulic repairs on 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am, rear left, and 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, rear left. This part cross-references Oldsmobile 18026268 and Pontiac 18026268 for the same application.

Each caliper is remanufactured with new premium components, including high-temperature EPDM rubber seals, new bleeder screws, and corrosion-resistant hardware pieces where applicable. The unit is pressure-tested and finished with a rust-inhibiting coating to support reliable braking performance and OE-style fit.

What It Helps Fix

• Brake fluid leakage at the rear left caliper
• Uneven rear braking on Pontiac Grand Am or Oldsmobile Alero
• Sticking or seized caliper piston movement
• Soft or inconsistent brake pedal feel caused by caliper issues
• Brake drag or poor wheel release from a worn hydraulic caliper

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am, rear left.
• Fits 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, rear left.
• Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and replace fluid from a sealed container.
• Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove trapped air.
• Inspect hoses, pads, and rear brake hardware before completing the repair.
• Floating caliper mounting pins should be lubricated with silicone grease.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this caliper to OE-style standards using new internal components and pressure testing for consistent operation. The process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with manufacturing a new part.
