Detailed Description

BC181213 is remanufactured at an IATF 16949 facility using a process that starts with core inspection and rejection of heavily pitted or severely corroded units. During teardown, reusable steel components are cleaned, checked, and inspected before assembly, while rubber parts are material tested for quality. Cast iron calipers receive a zinc dichromate coating for corrosion resistance and OE-style appearance, and threads are cleaned and chased before final go-no go inspection. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. For buyers searching for a front left brake caliper for 1989-1998 Suzuki Sidekick, 1989-1997 Geo Tracker, or 1998 Chevrolet Tracker, BC181213 provides a direct remanufactured replacement option. The part number BC181213 is also a useful reference when comparing brake hydraulics listings for these vehicles.

What It Helps Address

• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or inlet area
• Uneven braking caused by a sticking or seized piston
• Poor pad contact from worn caliper hardware or slides
• Corrosion-related caliper binding on older vehicles
• Brake pull or inconsistent front left braking performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left placement, inlet thread size, and bracket style before installation. Transfer or replace pads as needed, since pads are not included. Bleed the brake system after installation and inspect all connections for leaks. Confirm rotor condition and brake hose condition before returning the vehicle to service. This caliper is listed for 1989-1991 Chevrolet Tracker, 1989-1991 GMC Tracker, 1989-1997 Geo Tracker, 1989-1998 Suzuki Sidekick, 1994-1997 Pontiac Sunrunner, and 1996-1998 Suzuki X-90 front left applications.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical remanufactures this caliper with multiple QC checkpoints, final inspection, and material testing for rubber components. Phenolic pistons are replaced with new parts during remanufacturing, and reusable steel components are cleaned and verified before assembly. The finished caliper is inspected for OE-type thread performance and corrosion-resistant protection.
