Technical Description and Features

This Cardone 18-B4936 caliper features a phenolic piston material, which offers improved heat resistance and reduced weight compared to steel pistons.

The caliper includes two pistons with an outer diameter of 2.12 inches (53.848 mm), providing balanced braking force. A silicone grease is recommended for floating caliper mounting pins to ensure smooth operation and prevent squealing noises.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Cardone 18-B4936 caliper requires the use of the included hardware kit; however, mounting bolts are not provided and must be sourced separately. Always use the brake fluid type recommended by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), typically DOT 3 or DOT 4. Apply silicone grease to floating caliper mounting pins to prevent noise and ensure smooth caliper movement. Verify that the brake system is properly bled to eliminate air and restore firm pedal feel.
