Technical Details and Features

This floating disc brake caliper features a cast iron body and casting, providing strength and heat resistance necessary for braking applications. The single piston, made of steel and measuring 34mm in diameter, applies consistent pressure to the brake pads (pads not included). The caliper is designed for the trailing axle position and includes a bleeder screw with M10x1.0 thread size for easy brake fluid maintenance. The inlet fitting uses a banjo-type open design with a 10mm thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. The caliper’s gray finish helps protect against corrosion, extending the component’s lifespan.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Hyundai Optima and Kia Sonata
• Addresses brake drag or uneven pad wear caused by faulty calipers
• Resolves brake fluid leaks from caliper piston seals

• Restores proper brake function after caliper corrosion or mechanical failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your specific Hyundai Optima or Kia Sonata model year before installation. This caliper does not include brake pads or mounting hardware, so these components must be sourced separately. Properly bleed the brake system after installation using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain optimal brake performance. Verify the inlet fitting type and thread size (M10x1.0) matches your vehicle’s brake line connection.
