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 against rust and wear, extending the service life of the braking system. The inclusion of key hardware such as bleeder screws and caliper slides supports maintenance and reliable brake function.
Detailed Product Description
This disc brake caliper is specifically designed for Nissan Altima and Sentra vehicles, ensuring proper fitment and performance. The cast iron caliper casting provides a robust structure capable of withstanding the stresses of braking. The single steel piston with a 2.24-inch diameter applies consistent pressure to the brake pads (pads not included), while the caliper slides and dust boots maintain smooth movement and protect internal components from contaminants. The bleeder screw (M10-1.0 thread) and cap facilitate brake fluid bleeding and system maintenance. The gray E-coat finish offers corrosion resistance, helping to maintain the caliper's integrity over time.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Nissan Altima and Sentra
- Resolves sticking or seized caliper pistons causing uneven brake pad wear
- Addresses brake fluid leaks from damaged bleeder screws or seals
- Improves braking performance by restoring proper caliper slide function
- Prevents corrosion-related caliper failure with protective E-coat finish
Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure compatibility with your specific Nissan Altima or Sentra model year before installation. The caliper includes mounting brackets and brake pad hardware but does not include brake pads. Properly torque the banjo bolt inlet fitting and verify bleeder screw threads match your brake system specifications. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and ensure optimal brake performance. Inspect dust boots and caliper slides during installation to confirm they are seated correctly.
