About the TechShield 360 (tm) Product Line

The TechShield 360 (tm) line by Nugeon focuses on delivering brake components that combine durability and corrosion resistance. This disc brake caliper benefits from an E-coat finish that helps protect the cast iron housing from rust and wear, making it suitable for vehicles exposed to harsh environments. The line emphasizes reliable hydraulic performance and ease of maintenance, as reflected in the inclusion of a bleeder screw and quality materials.

Detailed Product Description

This disc brake caliper is designed specifically for compatibility with Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models including the Acclaim, Breeze, Cirrus, Concorde, Daytona, Intrepid, LeBaron, LHS, Neon, New Yorker, Sebring, Shadow, Spirit, Stratus, and Sundance. The caliper features a single phenolic piston that reduces heat transfer to the brake fluid, helping to maintain braking efficiency. The cast iron caliper casting provides structural integrity, while the gray E-coat finish offers protection against corrosion. The included bleeder screw (3/8-24 thread size) facilitates brake system bleeding, ensuring proper hydraulic function. The inlet fitting uses a banjo bolt type connection, common in many brake hydraulic systems.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or leaking disc brake calipers on compatible Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles
• Restores proper brake hydraulic pressure and piston movement
• Addresses brake fluid leaks around the caliper piston area
• Improves braking response and pedal feel when original caliper is damaged
• Prevents corrosion-related caliper failure with E-coat finish

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your specific vehicle model before installation. This caliper includes brake pad installation hardware and a bleeder screw but does not include brake pads or anti-squeal shims. Properly torque the banjo bolt inlet fitting and bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and maintain hydraulic integrity. Inspect dust boots for damage and replace if necessary to prevent contamination.
