Technical Description and Features

This Cardone 19-B3272A caliper features a single steel piston with an outer diameter of approximately 56.95 mm, providing consistent hydraulic pressure for effective braking. The caliper’s gray oil emulsion finish helps protect against rust and wear, extending service life. Both the bleeder and inlet ports are sized M10x1.0, compatible with standard brake lines for Mazda 3 applications. The caliper uses silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins to ensure smooth operation and reduce noise.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or leaking disc brake calipers on Mazda 3 vehicles
• Addresses symptoms of low brake pedal often caused by air in the brake system
• Helps resolve uneven braking or vehicle pull to one side during braking
• Eliminates persistent brake squeal related to caliper hardware or mounting issues
• Restores proper brake function when calipers are suspected to cause pedal softness

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Cardone 19-B3272A caliper requires proper brake fluid as recommended by the original equipment manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4. Use the included hardware kit for mounting the caliper and bracket, but note that mounting bolts are not included and must be obtained separately. Applying silicone grease to the floating caliper mounting pins is advised to prevent noise and ensure smooth caliper movement.
