Product Details

PowerStop’s Autospecialty OE Replacement Brake Calipers are built to replace the stock unit without modification. Each caliper is pressure tested to verify piston operation and check for leaks, then assembled with new sealing components and high-temperature EPDM rubber dust boots for smoother operation in demanding conditions. Premium silicone lubricant is used during assembly to support consistent movement of the floating design. L2015 is a direct-fit front left caliper for 1996-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, 1996-2006 Volkswagen Golf, 1996-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, 1996-1997 Volkswagen Passat, and 1998-2004 Audi A3 applications listed in the fitment data.
