Common Brake Issues This Part Can Address

• Brake drag or a caliper that does not release smoothly
• Uneven braking at the front right wheel
• Low brake pedal caused by caliper hydraulic leakage
• Brake fluid seepage around the caliper body or bleeder area
• Corrosion-related caliper sticking or piston movement concerns

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2004-2009 Cadillac XLR, front right. Confirm the inlet and bleeder port size before installation and follow OE brake fluid specifications listed on the master cylinder reservoir lid. Use new brake fluid from a sealed container, and apply silicone grease to floating caliper mounting pins where required. Because this is an unloaded caliper, pad selection and rotor condition should be verified during service.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured caliper is pressure-tested and assembled with new premium components to support reliable brake operation. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part, while maintaining OE-style fit for the Cadillac XLR application.
