Overview

This Nugeon disc brake caliper is built for front right brake service on a wide range of GM vehicles from 1991-1993. It uses a cast iron housing, a steel piston, and an e-coat finish for a durable replacement that matches the original hydraulic layout.

Compatible with Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac applications, part number 97P17277B is a fitment-specific caliper for vehicles that use a banjo bolt inlet and M10-1.5 thread sizing.

Key Features

• Cast iron caliper body with gray e-coat finish
• Single steel piston with 2.5 in. / 63 mm outside diameter
• Bleeder screw included for serviceable brake bleeding
• Brake pad installation hardware included where applicable
• Banjo bolt inlet with M10-1.5 thread specification

Detailed Description

Part number 97P17277B is a front right disc brake caliper engineered for specific 1991-1993 GM passenger cars and vans, including Buick LeSabre, Cadillac DeVille, Chevrolet Camaro, Oldsmobile 98, and Pontiac Bonneville applications. The caliper is manufactured by Akebono and supplied under Nugeon’s TechShield 360 line, with a cast iron housing, steel piston, and e-coat finish for corrosion resistance and consistent brake operation.

This caliper uses a banjo bolt inlet, M10-1.5 thread sizing, and includes a bleeder screw. It is listed with pad installation hardware and dust boots, while pads, bracket, and wear sensors are not included. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Leaking brake fluid from a worn caliper body or seal area
• Uneven braking caused by a sticking piston
• Corrosion on the caliper housing or bleeder area
• Brake drag from internal wear or contamination
• Loss of hydraulic pressure at the wheel end

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s front right fitment, inlet thread size, and banjo bolt connection before installation. Confirm pad shape and brake hardware requirements against the existing brake system, since pads and bracket are not included. Bleeding the brake system after installation is required to restore proper hydraulic performance.
