Cardone Unloaded Caliper Product Line Details

The Cardone Unloaded Caliper product line offers brake calipers that come without brake pads installed, allowing for customization or replacement of pads separately. This line is suitable for technicians and vehicle owners who prefer to install their own brake pads or use specific aftermarket pads. The 2C-1212 model fits within this line, providing a zinc-plated, corrosion-resistant caliper body with a single steel piston designed for durability and consistent braking performance.

Technical Specifications and Features

This Cardone disc brake caliper features a zinc plating finish that helps protect against rust and wear, extending the service life of the component. The caliper is silver in color and includes a single steel piston with an outer diameter of 1.894 inches (48.1 mm), which is engineered to provide reliable hydraulic pressure for effective braking. Both the bleeder port and inlet port have an M10x1.0 thread size, compatible with standard brake lines and fittings. The package includes the caliper, mounting bracket, instruction sheet, and a hardware kit for installation, though mounting bolts are not included. Brake pads are not part of this kit, consistent with the unloaded caliper design.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Pontiac Sunrunner, Suzuki Sidekick, and Suzuki X-90
• Addresses brake fluid leaks caused by faulty caliper seals or pistons
• Restores proper brake pressure and pedal feel
• Helps eliminate uneven brake pad wear due to caliper malfunction
• Prevents corrosion-related caliper failure with zinc plating finish

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Cardone 2C-1212 caliper requires basic brake system knowledge and tools. The included hardware kit and bracket simplify mounting, but mounting bolts must be sourced separately. Ensure the brake system is properly bled after installation to remove air from the hydraulic lines. Verify that the bleeder and inlet ports match your vehicle’s brake line fittings (M10x1.0). Follow the instruction sheet carefully to maintain safety and performance standards.
