About the Raybestos Element 3 Product Line

The Raybestos Element 3 line focuses on delivering reliable brake components that combine quality materials with precise manufacturing. This disc brake caliper is part of that line, offering a new manufacturing type caliper designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. The coated surface finish and cast iron construction reflect the Element 3 commitment to durability and consistent braking performance.

Detailed Product Description

The Raybestos Element 3 Disc Brake Caliper FRC13345N features a cast iron caliper body that provides structural integrity and heat resistance under demanding braking conditions. Its floating caliper design allows for even pad wear and effective braking response. The single piston, measuring 1.686 inches in diameter, applies pressure evenly to the brake pads, ensuring smooth stopping power. The included mounting bracket simplifies installation, while the coated surface finish helps protect against corrosion. The bleeder screw with M10x1.00 thread size facilitates proper brake fluid bleeding, essential for maintaining brake system performance. This caliper is semi-loaded, meaning it comes partially assembled to streamline the replacement process.

Compatible Applications and Common Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or seized disc brake calipers on Tesla Model 3
• Resolves uneven brake pad wear caused by faulty caliper pistons
• Addresses brake fluid leaks from damaged bleeder screws or seals
• Improves braking performance affected by corroded or damaged caliper surfaces
• Fixes noise or vibration issues related to caliper bracket misalignment

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is depressurized before removing the old caliper. Verify that the mounting bracket and hardware are compatible and secure the caliper firmly to avoid movement. Bleed the brake system thoroughly using the M10x1.00 bleeder screw to remove air and maintain proper hydraulic pressure. Inspect brake pads and rotors for wear and replace if necessary to ensure optimal braking performance.
