Product Details

Use part number 331-40081 when matching the correct caliper for these applications.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Front left caliper sticking or uneven brake response
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body
• Corrosion on the caliper exterior
• Poor braking performance from a worn hydraulic caliper
• Noise or drag related to caliper wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, model, and front left position before ordering. Inspect brake hoses, pads, rotors, and mounting points during caliper replacement to verify the rest of the brake system is serviceable. Bleed the brake system after installation to remove air and restore proper pedal feel. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

The silver zinc coated finish is intended to support corrosion resistance in brake service. Verify fitment against the vehicle listing and part number 331-40081 before installation.
