Product Details

Common Brake Issues This Part Addresses

• Uneven braking or pull during stops from a sticking front left caliper
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Soft or inconsistent pedal feel caused by caliper wear or internal seal failure
• Brake drag from a seized piston or corroded caliper components
• Noise or poor brake response related to worn caliper hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s brake fluid specification on the master cylinder reservoir lid and use fresh fluid from a sealed container. Clean and inspect the mounting surface, brake hose, and related hardware before installation. Silicone grease is used on floating caliper mounting pins, and the system should be bled thoroughly after installation to remove air.
