Technical Description and Features

This disc brake caliper features a cast iron construction, which offers durability and effective heat dissipation during braking. The floating caliper design with a single piston (2.496 inches diameter) allows for smooth and consistent brake pad engagement. The semi-loaded configuration balances the caliper’s movement and pressure application. The bleeder screw with M7x1 thread ensures proper brake fluid bleeding and maintenance. The caliper bracket mounting holes are precisely sized at 12.000 mm with a 1.250 thread pitch to guarantee secure attachment to the vehicle’s suspension components. The plain surface finish is typical for remanufactured parts, focusing on function over aesthetics.

Compatible Applications and Common Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or seized floating disc brake calipers on Toyota RAV4
• Resolves uneven brake pad wear caused by caliper piston sticking
• Fixes brake fluid leaks from damaged or corroded caliper pistons
• Addresses brake noise and reduced stopping power due to caliper malfunction
• Restores proper brake hydraulics function in Toyota RAV4 braking systems

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos FRC12011 caliper on a Toyota RAV4, ensure the brake system is properly bled using the M7x1 bleeder screw to remove air and maintain hydraulic pressure. Verify that the caliper bracket mounting holes align correctly with the vehicle’s suspension mounts. Use appropriate torque specifications for mounting bolts to avoid damage or loosening. Since this caliper is remanufactured and friction-ready, install compatible brake pads without additional machining. Inspect brake lines and hardware during installation for optimal performance.
