This product line emphasizes quality materials and manufacturing processes to ensure consistent performance and durability. The FRC12980N caliper is part of this line, offering a balance of advanced casting materials and precise engineering tailored for Hyundai Sportage and Kia Tucson models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetailed Product Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake caliper features a hybrid aluminum and cast iron casting, combining lightweight properties with structural integrity. The single piston, measuring 1.5 inches in diameter, provides sufficient clamping force for effective braking. As a floating caliper, it allows for slight lateral movement to accommodate brake pad wear and maintain even pressure distribution. The included mounting bracket and coated surfaces contribute to ease of installation and long-term resistance to corrosion. The caliper is friction ready, meaning it is prepared for immediate use with compatible brake pads without additional modifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or seized calipers causing uneven brake pad wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing brake drag or sticking issues due to caliper malfunction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring proper brake fluid pressure and pedal feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminating noise or vibration caused by faulty caliper operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrading to a corrosion-resistant caliper for extended service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the brake system is properly bled after installation to remove air from the hydraulic lines. Verify that the bleeder screw thread size M10x1.00 matches your vehicle’s specifications. Use the included mounting bracket and confirm the caliper bracket mounting hole size and thread pitch (12 mm, 1.25) for correct fitment. Inspect brake pads and rotors for wear and replace if necessary to maintain optimal braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Raybestos Element 3 Disc Brake Caliper FRC12980N is manufactured as a new part with coated surfaces to resist corrosion and wear.
