Details on the R-Line; Friction-Ready Caliper, Remanufactured; Includes Bracket

The R-Line; Friction-Ready Caliper, Remanufactured; Includes Bracket product line by Raybestos focuses on providing remanufactured disc brake calipers that come ready for friction material installation. This line is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, offering a cost-effective solution for brake system repairs. The inclusion of the mounting bracket simplifies replacement procedures and ensures proper alignment within the brake system.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper is constructed from cast iron, providing strength and resistance to wear under typical braking conditions. The semi-loaded configuration means the caliper comes partially assembled, reducing installation time while allowing for friction material customization. The piston diameter measures 2.000 inches (50.8 mm), which is critical for matching the hydraulic pressure requirements of compatible vehicles. The bleeder screw thread size of M10x1 is standard for many brake systems, facilitating proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or leaking disc brake calipers on compatible vehicles
• Restores proper hydraulic pressure and braking performance
• Addresses issues with uneven brake pad wear due to caliper malfunction
• Solves brake fluid leakage caused by damaged or corroded caliper components
• Improves brake pedal feel and responsiveness after caliper failure

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos FRC11696 caliper, ensure the mounting bracket is securely fastened to maintain proper caliper alignment. Verify that the bleeder screw thread matches the vehicle’s brake line fittings to avoid leaks. It is recommended to replace brake pads and hardware simultaneously for optimal performance. Properly bleed the brake system after installation to remove air and restore hydraulic pressure.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos remanufactured calipers undergo rigorous inspection and testing to meet industry standards. The FRC11696 part is built to provide reliable service life comparable to new components. While specific warranty details may vary, Raybestos typically offers limited warranties on remanufactured brake components to cover defects in materials and workmanship.
