Detailed Product Description

This Raybestos disc brake caliper (FRC11683) is a remanufactured component crafted from cast iron, providing strength and heat resistance necessary for braking systems. The floating caliper design features two pistons, which help evenly distribute braking force for consistent pad wear and stopping power. The semi-loaded configuration means the caliper comes partially assembled, including the bracket, which streamlines the replacement process.

The caliper’s bleeder screw uses an M10x1 thread, compatible with standard brake bleeding tools. The mounting bracket holes measure 14.000 mm with a 2.000 mm thread pitch, ensuring proper fitment on compatible vehicles. The piston diameter of 2.122 inches (53.9 mm) is designed to match the brake system specifications of the Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram 1500, and Mitsubishi Raider models.
