Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Brake piston wear during caliper rebuild service
• Uneven pad contact caused by a damaged piston surface
• Reduced braking response from a sticking front caliper piston
• Brake fluid pressure transfer issues inside the caliper assembly
• Front brake service needs on Silverado, Sierra, Cheyenne, Suburban 3500 HD, or Chrysler 200 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the caliper design and OE reference before ordering, especially on 2011-2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra HD front brake applications.
