Product Details

Pagid 355782712 is engineered for European vehicle brake systems that require precise hydraulic response and stable braking characteristics. The fixed caliper design, 38 mm piston diameter, and aluminum housing support controlled brake force delivery, while the powder-coated finish helps protect the caliper body in demanding service conditions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 542093, 5542115) for the same application.

For Saab 9-3 owners, this caliper provides a direct service replacement for rear left brake repair where the original unit has seized, leaked, or worn beyond specification. The included bleeder screw and mounting bracket simplify brake service on the compatible Saab 9-3 platform.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores braking force when the original caliper is sticking or seized
• Addresses brake fluid leakage from a worn caliper body or seal area
• Corrects uneven rear braking caused by piston or slide wear
• Replaces a damaged caliper on Saab 9-3 rear left brake systems
• Supports service work when the caliper finish or hardware has deteriorated

Installation Notes

Fits 2003-2011 Saab 9-3, rear left. Verify rotor size and brake system configuration before installation, and confirm inlet and bleeder thread specifications during service. Bleeding the brake system after installation is required for proper pedal feel and hydraulic operation.

Quality Assurance

Pagid brake calipers are tested to meet OE standards for safety and performance. The product line is engineered to serve European independent aftermarket applications with specifications matched to vehicle braking requirements.
