Product Details and Specifications

The Cardone 19-254 caliper features a gray oil emulsion finish that helps resist rust and corrosion, extending the service life of the component. It is equipped with two steel pistons, each measuring approximately 54 mm in diameter, ensuring even pressure distribution on the brake pads. The bleeder and inlet ports both have an M10x1.0 thread size, compatible with many standard brake lines. This remanufactured caliper includes a hardware kit to assist with installation, though mounting bolts are not part of the package. The caliper uses silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins to maintain smooth operation and reduce wear.

• Replacement for worn or leaking disc brake calipers on compatible vehicles
• Resolves symptoms of low brake pedal often caused by air in the brake system
• Addresses uneven braking or vehicle pulling to one side during braking
• Helps eliminate brake squeal related to caliper malfunction
• Suitable for vehicles requiring steel piston calipers instead of phenolic piston types

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 19-254 caliper, always use the brake fluid type recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4. Apply silicone grease to the floating caliper mounting pins to ensure smooth movement and prevent binding. Bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove any air and restore proper pedal feel. Note that while the hardware kit is included, mounting bolts must be sourced separately if needed.
