MPA Electrical BC183179 Disc Brake Caliper - Rear Left

Remanufactured Rear Left Brake Caliper

MPA Electrical BC183179 is a remanufactured disc brake caliper for the rear left position on select Jaguar X-Type models. It is built for drivers looking for a direct-fit brake hydraulics replacement with inspected components, cleaned threads, and corrosion-resistant finishing.

Fits 2002-2004 Jaguar X-Type, rear left. Fits 2005 Jaguar X-Type, rear left, to VIN # E24053.

• Floating caliper design with 1 steel piston
• Mounting bracket and caliper slides included
• Inlet thread diameter: 10.0
• Mounting hole diameter: 10.0
• Pads not included
• Mounting bolts not included

Detailed Description

BC183179 is remanufactured at an IATF 16949 facility using a controlled process that starts with core inspection and rejection of heavily pitted or severely corroded units. Aluminum calipers are machined at the inlet for a tighter seal, phenolic pistons are replaced with new parts, and reusable steel pistons and components are cleaned and inspected before assembly. Cast iron calipers receive a zinc dichromate coating for added corrosion resistance and an OE-style appearance. Threads are cleaned and chased, then verified with a go/no-go test during final inspection. Rubber components are material tested, and banjo bolts, crush washers, and friction hardware are replaced with new parts during remanufacturing. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 1121851) for the same application.

What This Caliper Helps Address

• Rear brake drag caused by a sticking caliper piston
• Uneven rear braking on a Jaguar X-Type
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper inlet or sealing surfaces
• Corrosion-related caliper seizure or slide binding
• Reduced braking response from worn hydraulic components

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear left fitment by model year and, for 2005 Jaguar X-Type applications, verify the VIN cutoff noted in the fitment data. Inspect brake hoses, pads, and rotor condition before installation, and bleed the hydraulic system after replacement. Because pads are not included, reuse or replacement should be handled separately based on wear and service condition.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical remanufactures this caliper through multiple QC checkpoints, including core rejection criteria, component inspection, thread verification, and final assembly checks. The process is designed to deliver a remanufactured brake caliper that meets controlled remanufacturing standards for Jaguar X-Type rear brake service. Part number BC183179 is identified for this application throughout the catalog and service lookup process.
