About the Raybestos Element 3 Product Line

The Raybestos Element 3 line focuses on delivering friction-ready brake components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This product line emphasizes quality materials and precise manufacturing processes to ensure reliable braking performance. The FRC11629N caliper is part of this series, offering a coated surface finish and new manufacturing type to maintain consistent operation under demanding conditions.

Detailed Product Description

This disc brake caliper is designed with two pistons, each measuring approximately 2.239 inches (56.895 mm) in diameter, providing even pressure distribution across the brake pads. The floating caliper design allows for slight lateral movement, which helps accommodate rotor variations and reduces uneven pad wear. The included mounting bracket is coated to resist corrosion, ensuring a secure and lasting fit. The bleeder screw with M10x1.00 thread facilitates proper brake fluid bleeding, essential for maintaining brake system performance. This caliper is friction ready, meaning it is prepared for immediate use with compatible brake pads.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, and Saturn Vue
• Resolves uneven brake pad wear caused by faulty caliper pistons
• Addresses brake drag or sticking issues due to caliper malfunction
• Improves braking response and pedal feel in vehicles with original calipers showing signs of fatigue
• Prevents corrosion-related caliper failure with coated surface finish

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is properly depressurized before removing the old caliper. Verify that the mounting bracket and hardware are compatible and securely fastened. Use the specified M10x1.00 bleeder screw thread for brake fluid bleeding to avoid leaks. Inspect brake pads and rotors for wear and replace if necessary to maintain optimal braking performance. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for mounting bolts to ensure safety and reliability.
