Product Details

PowerStop’s Rear OE Stock Replacement Caliper line focuses on direct-fit brake service for drivers restoring factory braking performance without changing the original system layout. L7273 is remanufactured to OE-style specifications and pressure tested before release, helping verify piston movement and seal integrity. For Volkswagen Passat, Golf, Golf Alltrack, Golf SportWagen, and GTI rear right brake repairs, this caliper provides a stock replacement solution that matches the original mounting and hydraulic connection points.

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

• Rear brake drag caused by a sticking caliper piston
• Uneven rear pad wear from worn slide components
• Brake fluid seepage at the caliper seals or bleeder area
• Reduced braking response from a worn OE caliper assembly
• Corrosion-related caliper noise or inconsistent rear brake operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear right fitment against your vehicle’s brake rotor and brake package before installation. This caliper is listed for 2015-2022 Volkswagen Passat rear right, 2021 Volkswagen Golf rear right, 2015-2020 Volkswagen Golf rear right with 272mm rear brake rotors, 2017-2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack rear right, 2015-2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen rear right, and 2015-2018 Volkswagen GTI rear right excluding Performance Brakes. Confirm inlet and bleeder thread sizes during brake line service, and bleed the hydraulic system after installation.

PowerStop remanufactures the caliper and bracket in its Chicago, IL facility and pressure tests each unit to check piston operation and help prevent leaks. The assembly uses new seals, dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless steel pad abutment clips for consistent OE-style service quality.
