Technical Description and Features

The caliper uses silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins to ensure smooth operation and reduce noise.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Replacement for worn or leaking brake calipers on Mazda Miata
• Addresses symptoms such as low brake pedal caused by air in the brake system
• Helps resolve uneven braking or vehicle pulling to one side during braking
• Eliminates brake squeal related to caliper mounting pin issues

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation hardware is included with this caliper, but mounting bolts are not provided and must be reused or sourced separately. It is recommended to use the brake fluid type specified by the vehicle manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4. Applying silicone grease to the floating caliper mounting pins will help prevent noise and ensure smooth caliper movement. Always bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and restore proper pedal feel.
