About the TechShield 360 (tm) Product Line

The TechShield 360 (tm) line by Nugeon focuses on providing comprehensive brake hydraulic components with enhanced corrosion resistance and durability. This disc brake caliper benefits from an E-coat finish that helps protect against rust and wear, making it suitable for demanding driving conditions often encountered by trucks and SUVs like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Yukon XL.

Detailed Product Description

This disc brake caliper is constructed from cast iron, offering robust structural integrity and excellent heat dissipation during braking. The four steel pistons, each measuring 2 inches in diameter, provide even pressure distribution across the brake pads, improving stopping power and pedal feel. The caliper includes a bleeder screw with a matching cap to facilitate proper brake fluid bleeding and maintenance. The inlet fitting uses a banjo bolt design, compatible with standard brake lines on GM vehicles. The gray E-coat finish enhances corrosion resistance, extending the caliper's service life. Dust boots are included to protect internal components from contaminants.
