Detailed Description

Nugeon 97-17640A is a remanufactured front left disc brake caliper engineered for specific late-1980s and 1990 Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth brake systems. It is listed for 1989-1990 Chrysler LeBaron, 1990 Chrysler Daytona, 1990 Chrysler Town & Country, 1989-1990 Dodge Caravan, 1990 Dodge Daytona, 1989-1990 Dodge Grand Caravan, and 1989-1990 Plymouth Voyager and Grand Voyager applications, with configuration-specific notes such as 15-inch wheel, rear disc, or vented rear disc requirements. The housing cast number is KH12205701, which can help confirm application during brake service.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Caliper Can Address

• Uneven front brake pad wear on the left side
• Brake drag caused by a sticking or seized caliper piston
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Reduced braking response from worn internal hydraulic components
• Corrosion-related caliper performance loss on older vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the vehicle’s wheel size and rear brake configuration before ordering, since fitment varies by model and option package.
• Confirm the banjo bolt inlet and 7/16-20 thread size match the original brake hose connection.
• Inspect pads, rotors, and brake hoses during caliper replacement for even braking performance.
• Bleed the brake system after installation to remove air from the hydraulic circuit.
• Use the housing cast number KH12205701 as an additional identification reference when comparing the original caliper.
