• Floating caliper design with one steel piston
• Mounting bracket and caliper slides included
• 10.0 inlet thread diameter and 10.0 mounting hole diameter
• Pads not included
• Mounting bolts not included
• Part number BC181597

Detailed Description

BC181597 is remanufactured at an IATF 16949 facility with inspection steps focused on core condition, thread quality, piston reuse, and final assembly checks. During remanufacturing, heavily pitted or severely corroded cores are removed from service, reusable steel components are cleaned and inspected, and rubber components are material tested before assembly. Cast iron calipers receive a corrosion-resistant zinc dichromate coating for OE-style protection, while threads are cleaned and chased to support proper fit and brake serviceability. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 3998559) for the same application.

What This Caliper Helps Address

• Rear brake drag caused by a sticking caliper piston
• Uneven rear braking from worn or corroded caliper components
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper inlet or sealing surfaces
• Noisy or inconsistent rear brake operation from worn slides or hardware
• Service replacement needs on a Ford Probe, Mazda 626, or Mazda MX-6 rear left brake corner

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1993-1997 Ford Probe, rear left; 1993-1997 Mazda 626, rear left; and 1993-1997 Mazda MX-6, rear left. Verify inlet thread size, mounting hole diameter, and brake hose connection before installation. Transfer or replace pads as needed, and bleed the brake system after installation to remove air from the hydraulic circuit. Inspect the rotor, slides, and brake hose condition during service to confirm proper caliper operation. BC181597 should be matched to the rear left position only.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical remanufactures this caliper in an IATF 16949 facility and uses QC checkpoints throughout teardown, cleaning, machining, assembly, and final inspection. Phenolic pistons are replaced with new components during remanufacturing, steel parts are inspected for reuse, and all rubber materials are tested before assembly. The finished caliper is checked for thread condition and assembly accuracy before release.
