Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 19-B2573 caliper on a Volkswagen Jetta, ensure the use of the included hardware kit for secure mounting. Note that mounting bolts are not included and must be sourced separately if needed. Use silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins to maintain smooth operation.

Verify that the bleeder and inlet port sizes match your vehicle’s brake lines for proper fitment.
