Raybestos FRC11870N Disc Brake Caliper

Raybestos FRC11870N Disc Brake Caliper

Raybestos FRC11870N is a new, semi-loaded disc brake caliper built for brake hydraulic service where consistent clamping force and direct OE-style replacement matter. This Element3 Friction-Ready Caliper uses a cast iron fixed-body design with four pistons for stable pad pressure and controlled braking response.

Product Details

The Raybestos Element3 line focuses on brake components built for direct replacement service, and FRC11870N follows that approach with a new-manufacture caliper assembly for hydraulic brake repair. Its fixed, four-piston layout supports even pad loading across the rotor, while the cast iron body provides the rigidity expected in a disc brake caliper application. This part cross-references Centric Parts 141.79010 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Uneven braking caused by a sticking or worn caliper
• Brake pull during stops from inconsistent piston movement
• Soft or irregular pedal response related to caliper wear
• Rotor and pad wear issues tied to poor caliper pressure distribution
• Hydraulic service needs on compatible brake systems

Installation Notes

Verify caliper mounting style, piston diameter, bleeder thread, and brake hose connection before installation. Confirm rotor condition, pad thickness, and hydraulic system cleanliness during service. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation and inspect for leaks, drag, and proper piston retraction.

Quality Assurance

Raybestos manufactures this caliper as a new replacement part in the Element3 Friction-Ready line for brake service applications. Confirm vehicle-specific brake system requirements before ordering. Compatible With select Chevrolet and GMC brake applications where Raybestos FRC11870N is specified.
