Product Details

Cardone remanufactured brake calipers are rebuilt with new premium components and pressure-tested for consistent braking performance. The 18-B4940 uses a phenolic piston and new high-temperature EPDM rubber seals to support reliable operation in demanding rear brake service. This unloaded caliper w/bracket is a direct-fit replacement for select Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 rear left applications, along with Express 1500, Savana 1500, Tahoe, Suburban 1500, Yukon, Yukon XL 1500, Avalanche 1500, and Escalade models listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Chevrolet 88982595 and 89027012 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Brake fluid leakage at the rear left caliper
• Uneven rear braking or pulling during stops
• Sticking or seized caliper piston movement
• Corroded or worn caliper hardware at the rear wheel
• Low brake pedal concerns caused by caliper-related hydraulic issues

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the brake code and rear left application before ordering, especially on 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 models with JC3 or JH1 brake codes and limited slip differential. Use the OE-specified brake fluid listed on the master cylinder reservoir cap, and replace fluid from a sealed container. Silicone grease is used on floating caliper mounting pins. Bleed the system thoroughly after installation to remove trapped air and restore pedal feel.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone caliper is remanufactured to strict quality and performance standards, then 100% pressure-tested before release. The process uses new components where required and reduces raw material and energy use compared with manufacturing a new part.
