Detailed Description

Part number 331-80651 is a DFC Premium Caliper - Silver Zinc Coated designed for rear left brake service on select 2004-2013 Mazda 3 and Volvo C30, C70, S40, and V50 applications. This disc brake caliper is part of Dynamic Friction’s DFC Premium Caliper line, which identifies the product as a coated replacement caliper for brake hydraulic service. Use this caliper when replacing a worn, sticking, leaking, or corroded rear left unit on the listed vehicles.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear left brake drag caused by a sticking caliper
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or piston area
• Uneven rear brake wear on Mazda 3 and Volvo rear brake systems
• Corrosion-related caliper seizure in salt-exposed driving conditions
• Poor brake pedal response from a failing hydraulic caliper

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear left position and confirm vehicle year, make, and model before ordering. For 2004-2010 Volvo S40 applications, note the fitment listing includes a 5 lug brake hydraulic hose requirement. Inspect brake hoses, pads, and rotor condition during caliper replacement, and bleed the brake system after installation to remove air from the hydraulic circuit.

Quality Assurance

The silver zinc coated finish supports long-term corrosion resistance in brake service. Confirm fitment against the listed applications for 2004-2013 Mazda 3, 2007-2013 Volvo C30, 2006-2013 Volvo C70, 2011-2012 Volvo S40, 2005-2011 Volvo V50, and 2004-2010 Volvo S40 rear left applications.
