Product Details

The DFC Premium Caliper line focuses on direct-fit brake hydraulic replacement parts for import vehicles. This silver zinc coated caliper is built for front left installation on the listed Volkswagen models, including Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Quantum, and Volkswagen Rabbit variants.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Uneven front brake pad wear on the left side
• Brake drag caused by a sticking caliper piston or slide condition
• Reduced braking response from a leaking or worn hydraulic caliper
• Corrosion on the caliper body in older Volkswagen brake systems
• Pulling during braking when the front left caliper is no longer operating evenly

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, model, and front left position before ordering. Confirm brake hose routing, mounting style, and rotor/brake system details against the original caliper on the vehicle. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
