Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a cast iron body known for its durability and heat resistance. It uses a single steel piston with a diameter of 34mm, which provides consistent hydraulic pressure for effective braking. The caliper is a floating type, allowing it to self-adjust as brake pads wear. It includes a mounting bracket and abutment clips but does not come with brake pads or mounting hardware bolts. The inlet fitting supports both banjo and open types with an M10x1.0 thread size, matching OEM specifications for Hyundai and Kia models. The bleeder screw is included and also uses an M10x1.0 thread size for easy brake fluid bleeding during maintenance.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Hyundai Magentis, Optima, Sonata, Kia Sportage, and Tucson
• Addresses issues with uneven brake pad wear due to caliper malfunction
• Resolves brake fluid leaks from damaged or corroded caliper pistons
• Improves braking response when original caliper piston is seized or sticking
• Restores proper brake caliper mounting and alignment with included bracket and clips

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your specific Hyundai or Kia model before installation. This caliper does not include brake pads or mounting hardware bolts, so these must be sourced separately. Properly bleed the brake system using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain hydraulic pressure. Verify inlet fitting type (banjo or open) matches your vehicle’s brake line configuration. Use OEM torque specifications for mounting bracket bolts to ensure secure installation.
