What It Helps Fix

• Uneven rear pad wear on the left side
• Reduced braking response caused by worn piston seals or slides
• Noisy or rough caliper operation from aged dust boots and hardware

Installation Notes

Verify rear left fitment before installation on 2001-2003 Toyota Highlander models. Transfer or replace brake pads as needed, bleed the hydraulic system after installation, and confirm that the bleeder screw thread size matches the vehicle brake service setup. Mounting hardware is not listed as included.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop remanufactures this caliper and bracket in its Chicago, IL facility and pressure tests each unit to verify piston operation and check for leaks. The assembly process uses new seals, slide pins where applicable, dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless steel pad abutment clips to support consistent service life.
