Technical Description and Features

This disc brake caliper features two phenolic pistons, which help reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid, improving overall braking consistency. The caliper’s oil emulsion finish in gray provides corrosion resistance and durability. The bleeder port and inlet port sizes (M10x1.0 and M10x1.5 respectively) are designed to match OEM specifications for proper brake fluid flow and bleeding. The package includes the caliper, bracket, and a hardware kit, though mounting bolts are not included. Silicone grease is recommended for floating caliper mounting pins to ensure smooth operation.

Compatible Vehicles and Common Applications

• Jaguar S-Type brake system repairs and upgrades
• Jaguar Vanden Plas brake caliper replacement
• Jaguar XJ8 disc brake maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 18-B4792A caliper, always use the brake fluid type recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4. Apply silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins to prevent squealing and ensure smooth caliper movement. Although the hardware kit is included, verify if mounting bolts are required separately. Proper bleeding of the brake system is essential to avoid air in the lines, which can cause a low brake pedal.
