About the TechShield 360 (tm) Product Line

The TechShield 360 (tm) line by Nugeon focuses on remanufactured brake hydraulics components engineered to meet rigorous standards. This product line emphasizes corrosion resistance and functional integrity, featuring rust preventative finishes and durable cast iron castings. The 99P17878A caliper benefits from these design priorities, ensuring longevity and dependable braking under various driving conditions.

Detailed Product Description

This disc brake caliper is constructed from cast iron, providing strength and heat resistance essential for brake system durability. The grey rust preventative finish helps protect the caliper from corrosion, extending its service life. It features two phenolic pistons, each with a 2-inch (60 mm) diameter, which reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid and improve braking response. The included bleeder screw (3/8-24 thread) facilitates proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance. The caliper comes with dust boots and caliper slides to maintain smooth piston movement and protect internal components from contaminants. The inlet fitting uses a banjo bolt design with a 3/8-24 thread size, compatible with standard brake lines. While the bracket is included, mounting bolts are not, so ensure you have the correct hardware for your specific vehicle application.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or leaking disc brake calipers
