Product Details

For Acura MDX and Acura ZDX brake repair, Part Number 2C-3279 offers a service-ready caliper assembly without pads, making it a practical choice when replacing a worn, sticking, or leaking front right caliper.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Front right brake drag caused by a sticking caliper piston
  • Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
  • Uneven braking feel from a worn hydraulic caliper assembly
  • Corrosion-related caliper seizure on Acura MDX and Acura ZDX models

Installation Notes

Fits 2007-2013 Acura MDX, front right. Fits 2010-2013 Acura ZDX, front right. Confirm inlet and bleeder port sizing, bracket orientation, and pad condition before installation.
