Detailed Description

Nugeon 97-17245B is a reman caliper for vehicles such as the 1980-1984 Buick Skylark, 1980-1984 Chevrolet Citation, 1980-1984 Oldsmobile Omega, and 1980-1984 Pontiac Phoenix, along with additional front right applications listed in the fitment data. It also covers models such as the Chevrolet Celebrity, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, and Pontiac 6000 in the specified years and brake configurations. This part number is a practical choice when replacing a worn, sticking, leaking, or unevenly operating front brake caliper.

As a remanufactured brake caliper, 97-17245B is processed for reuse with attention to the core housing, piston, seals, and external finish. The grey coating helps resist corrosion, while the included dust boots help protect internal components from road contamination. The bleeder screw and banjo-bolt inlet support standard hydraulic connection points used on the listed applications.

What This Caliper Helps Address

• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or piston area
• Uneven front braking or pull during stops
• Sticking or seized front right caliper operation
• Soft pedal feel caused by caliper hydraulic issues
• Corrosion on an older front disc brake caliper

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s brake system details before ordering, especially the front right position and any notes such as JA1 / JA8 system or vented disc requirements. Confirm the inlet fitting style, M10-1.5 thread size, and banjo-bolt connection before installation. Replace brake fluid, inspect hoses and pads, and bleed the system thoroughly after caliper replacement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Nugeon remanufactured brake calipers are built for direct-fit replacement on the listed applications and are finished for corrosion resistance in everyday service. Part number 97-17245B is intended for buyers seeking a reman front brake caliper that matches the original hydraulic and mounting requirements of the specified GM vehicles.
