MPA Electrical BC183346 Disc Brake Caliper - Rear Left

Remanufactured Rear Left Brake Caliper

MPA Electrical BC183346 is a remanufactured disc brake caliper for the rear left position on select Kia Sorento models. It is built for 2007-2009 Kia Sorento brake service and is processed through multiple quality checkpoints for consistent fit and function.

This cast iron, floating caliper includes the mounting bracket and caliper slides, with a coated silver finish. The steel piston, 10.0 mm inlet thread diameter, and cleaned threads support OE-style brake system service on the Kia Sorento rear left brake caliper application.

Detailed Description

BC183346 is remanufactured at an IATF 16949 facility using a controlled inspection process that removes heavily pitted or severely corroded cores before rebuilding. During teardown and assembly, critical components are cleaned, inspected, and verified for reuse or replacement as required. Threads are chased for proper engagement, and final inspection includes a go/no-go check for assembly accuracy. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

For 2007-2009 Kia Sorento rear left brake service, this caliper provides a direct replacement option for restoring hydraulic braking performance. The cast iron body is coated for corrosion resistance, and the remanufacturing process is focused on leak control, piston integrity, and OE-style operation.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Brake drag from a sticking rear left caliper
• Uneven rear brake wear on a Kia Sorento
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper inlet or seals
• Corrosion-related caliper seizure
• Reduced braking response from worn internal caliper components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left fitment before installation on 2007-2009 Kia Sorento models. Inspect brake hoses, pads, rotors, and mounting surfaces before reassembly. Bleed the brake system after installation and confirm proper caliper slide movement and pedal feel. The caliper finish or coating may vary.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical remanufactures brake calipers through a series of QC checkpoints at an IATF 16949 facility. Cores with heavy pitting or severe corrosion are rejected early, aluminum inlet faces are machined for sealing where applicable, and rubber components are material-tested before assembly. BC183346 is inspected for thread condition, component reuse, and final assembly approval to support reliable brake service on the Kia Sorento.
