Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Raybestos disc brake caliper is remanufactured using cast iron, a material known for its strength and heat dissipation properties. The semi-loaded configuration means the caliper comes partially assembled, facilitating easier installation while ensuring compatibility with the brake system components of Lexus Land Cruiser and Toyota LX450 models. The caliper piston diameter measures 2.000 inches (50.8 mm), providing the necessary surface area to apply braking pressure evenly across the brake pads. The M10x1 bleeder screw thread allows for proper bleeding of brake fluid, which is essential for maintaining brake responsiveness and safety. The plain surface finish is standard for this type of caliper, ensuring it fits seamlessly within the existing brake assembly.
