Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm caliper type and position before ordering. This listing includes rear fitment for 2021 Dodge Durango only when Brembo brakes and police vehicle configurations are excluded. For 2011-2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the listing notes compatibility with D1498 vehicles. For 2002-2006 Mini Cooper front applications, the listing notes compatibility with D939 model vehicles. Clean the caliper bore and piston surfaces thoroughly before installing new seals, and inspect the caliper for scoring or corrosion that could affect sealing.
