Product Details

This PowerStop caliper, part number L6794, is built for drivers replacing a worn or sticking front brake caliper on a Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio. The remanufacturing process includes pressure testing to verify piston movement and check for leaks, helping ensure the caliper is inspected before installation. PowerStop L6794 is a practical OE-style solution for restoring normal braking feel, pad contact, and hydraulic function on the front left corner.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Uneven front brake pad wear
• Brake drag from a sticking piston or slide issue
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper
• Poor brake pedal response caused by caliper wear
• Corrosion or damage to the original front left caliper

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle year, make, model, and front left position before installation. Inspect brake pads, rotor condition, and brake hoses during replacement, and bleed the hydraulic system after caliper installation. Because mounting hardware is not listed as included, confirm whether existing hardware can be reused or if additional parts are needed for your repair.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop remanufactures this caliper and bracket in its Chicago, IL facility and pressure tests each unit to confirm piston operation and help identify leaks before it leaves production. New seals, slide pins where applicable, dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless steel pad abutment clips are used during assembly to support consistent OE-style service.
