PowerStop L2683A Disc Brake Caliper - Front Left

Front Left OE Replacement Caliper

PowerStop L2683A is a front left disc brake caliper built as a direct OE stock replacement for select Subaru applications. It is remanufactured in Chicago, pressure tested for piston operation and leak prevention, and assembled with new seals, slide pins where applicable, dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless steel brake pad abutment clips.

The PowerStop - Front OE Stock Replacement Caliper line focuses on factory-style fit and straightforward serviceability for drivers who want a stock replacement brake solution without changing the original braking setup. This caliper uses a floating design with a 2-piston layout, cast iron housing, steel pistons, and a gray finish.

Installation Notes

Verify rotor size and vehicle build details before installation, especially on the 2018 Subaru Forester with 293mm front disc and the 2010 Subaru Forester built after 4/15/2010. Transfer or replace related brake components as needed during service, and bleed the hydraulic system after installation to remove air from the circuit. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop remanufactures the caliper and bracket in its Chicago, IL facility and pressure tests each unit to confirm piston operation and check for leaks. The assembly uses new service components and corrosion-resistant pad abutment clips to support consistent brake service on Subaru Forester, Crosstrek, XV Crosstrek, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, and WRX front left applications. Part number L2683A identifies this OE-style replacement caliper.
