Detailed Description

BC182820A is a front left brake caliper for Kia Sorento brake service, covering 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 model years. MPA Electrical remanufactures caliper cores through inspection and cleaning steps that remove heavily pitted or severely corroded units before assembly. The caliper body is finished with a coated silver appearance, and the cast iron housing is processed for corrosion resistance and OE-style fitment. This part number, BC182820A, is a direct replacement choice for Sorento front brake repairs where the original caliper has seized, leaked, or worn unevenly.

During remanufacturing, threads are cleaned and chased for proper engagement, and the unit is inspected before release. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper
• Uneven front brake pad wear
• Dragging or sticking front left brake operation
• Corrosion on the original caliper housing
• Reduced braking response from a worn caliper assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm front left placement before installation and verify inlet thread size, mounting hole diameter, and caliper slide condition against the original unit. Because pads are not included, inspect the brake pads, rotor surface, and brake hose condition during service. Bleed the brake system after installation and check for leaks at the banjo connection and inlet fitting.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical remanufactures brake calipers in an IATF 16949 facility using core inspection, cleaning, machining, and final inspection steps. Reusable steel components are cleaned and checked, while worn rubber parts are tested and replaced as needed to support consistent brake performance. BC182820A is built to meet service-replacement expectations for Kia Sorento brake repair.
