Product Details

Cardone 18-B5536 is part of the Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket line, built for applications that require a caliper assembly with the bracket included where applicable. The remanufacturing process replaces wear items with new premium components, including high-temperature EPDM rubber seals and durable piston materials, then pressure-tests each unit for consistent brake operation. This rear left caliper is a practical replacement for 2023-2024 Dodge Hornet, 2021-2023 Fiat 500X, 2017-2023 Jeep Compass, and 2021-2023 Jeep Renegade rear brake service.

This part cross-references Fiat and Jeep OE number 68263130AA for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Rear brake drag or uneven pad wear on the left side
• Brake fluid seepage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Corrosion-related caliper sticking from worn internal seals
• Poor brake pedal response caused by caliper hydraulic issues
• Noise or braking imbalance from a worn rear caliper assembly

Installation Notes

• Verify rear left position and confirm vehicle-specific fitment before installation.
• Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and replace fluid from a sealed container.
• Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove trapped air.
• Inspect brake hoses, pads, and rotor condition before completing the repair.
• Apply silicone grease to floating caliper mounting pins where required.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this caliper to OE fit standards and pressure-tests each unit before release. The process uses new components where needed and reduces raw material and energy use compared with manufacturing a new part.
