Product Line Details: PowerStop - Rear OE Stock Replacement Caliper

The PowerStop - Rear OE Stock Replacement Caliper line is engineered to provide a direct replacement for original equipment rear brake calipers.

Technical Description and Features

This rear disc brake caliper features a cast iron body that provides strength and heat resistance necessary for consistent braking performance. The floating caliper design allows for self-alignment during braking, reducing uneven pad wear. It includes one steel piston with a 38mm diameter, which ensures effective hydraulic pressure application. The caliper slides are included to facilitate smooth movement, and the mounting bracket is supplied to secure the caliper properly. The gray finish helps resist corrosion, while the inlet and bleeder screw thread sizes (M10 x 1.5 and M10 x 1.0 respectively) match standard brake line fittings for Volkswagen vehicles.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or seized rear brake calipers on Volkswagen Golf, GTI, Passat, and related models
• Addresses issues with uneven brake pad wear due to caliper slide failure
• Resolves brake fluid leaks caused by piston seal damage
• Improves braking response when original caliper piston is corroded or stuck

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is fully depressurized before removing the old caliper. Verify that the mounting bracket included with the L7273 caliper matches your vehicle’s specifications. Use compatible brake fluid and bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air. Since mounting hardware is not included, retain or replace bolts and clips as needed. Check the inlet and bleeder screw thread sizes (M10 x 1.5 and M10 x 1.0) for compatibility with your brake lines and tools.
