Product Details

Cardone 19-B1978 is a remanufactured Original Equipment-style brake caliper engineered for proper fit on the rear right side of the Audi A4 Quattro. The caliper is rebuilt with new premium components, including seals, hardware, and a steel piston, then pressure-tested to verify operation before installation. The included bracket and hardware kit support a complete brake service on the specified applications.

The Cardone Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket line focuses on OE fitment and practical serviceability. Each unit is treated with a rust inhibitor, finished to match original equipment appearance, and packaged to help protect threaded ports during installation. This part cross-references Audi 8D0615424A and 8D0615424B for the same application.

What This Caliper Helps Address

  • Uneven rear braking on the Audi A4 Quattro
  • Brake drag caused by a sticking caliper piston
  • Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
  • Corrosion-related caliper wear on the rear right corner
  • Poor pedal response from a worn or damaged caliper assembly

Installation Notes

Compatible with 1996-2001 Audi A4 Quattro, rear right, and 1999 Audi A4 Quattro, rear right with 245mm disc brakes. Verify bleeder port size M10x1.0 and inlet port size M10x1.0 before installation. Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer, and follow the OE recommendation for piston material and brake service procedures. Silicone grease is used on floating caliper mounting pins.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured caliper is pressure-tested and rebuilt with new components to support reliable brake operation. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
