The caliper is remanufactured to meet strict quality standards and includes a hardware kit to facilitate mounting, though mounting bolts are not included.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 19-2812 caliper, use the included hardware kit for mounting the caliper securely. Note that mounting bolts are not included and must be sourced separately if needed. It is recommended to use the brake fluid type specified by the vehicle manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4. Applying silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins can help ensure smooth caliper movement and prevent noise. Bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove any air and restore proper pedal feel.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

This remanufactured Cardone caliper undergoes rigorous testing to meet OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The steel piston construction and oil emulsion finish contribute to long-term durability. Installation hardware is included to support proper fitment. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the product provider, as Cardone typically offers limited warranties on remanufactured brake components.
