The caliper piston diameter of 2.874 inches (73.000 mm) ensures proper fitment and function within the brake system.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or seized floating disc brake calipers
• Restores braking balance and pedal feel in vehicles with dual-piston calipers
• Addresses brake fluid leakage issues around the caliper piston area
• Improves braking performance in vehicles experiencing uneven pad wear
• Suitable for vehicles requiring a remanufactured caliper with OEM-equivalent specifications

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is properly bled after installation to remove air and maintain braking efficiency. Verify compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model before installation, paying close attention to piston diameter and bleeder screw thread size. Use appropriate tools for the 7/16"-24 bleeder screw to avoid damage. Inspect brake pads and rotors for wear and replace if necessary to optimize performance.
