About the Raybestos R-Line Product Line

The DP85028 caliper piston is a part of this line, ensuring compatibility and reliable performance in braking systems.
Product Details and Material Benefits
The DP85028 disc brake caliper piston is made from phenolic resin, a material known for its lightweight properties and excellent resistance to heat and corrosion. Phenolic resin pistons reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid, helping to prevent brake fade and maintain consistent braking performance. This material also resists rust and corrosion better than traditional metal pistons, extending the service life of the caliper assembly.

Installation Notes and Tips
- Ensure the caliper bore is clean and free of debris before installation
- Use compatible brake fluid as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
- Inspect caliper seals and replace if necessary to prevent leaks
- Apply proper lubrication to piston and seals during assembly
- Follow vehicle-specific service manual instructions for torque specifications
