Detailed Product Description

This remanufactured disc brake caliper from Raybestos features a cast iron construction that provides strength and heat resistance necessary for consistent braking. The integral parking brake design integrates the parking brake mechanism directly into the caliper, eliminating the need for separate components. With a single piston measuring 1.787 inches in diameter, this caliper applies even pressure to the brake pads for effective stopping power.

The included bracket is designed with a 12.000 mm mounting hole size and a 1.750 thread pitch, ensuring compatibility with the specified vehicle models. The bleeder screw thread size of M10x1 allows for proper brake fluid bleeding during maintenance. The semi-loaded configuration means the caliper comes partially assembled, simplifying installation without sacrificing quality.
