Raybestos Element 3 Product Line Details

The Raybestos Element 3 line focuses on delivering reliable brake components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This product line emphasizes quality materials and precise manufacturing processes, making the FRC13346N caliper a suitable replacement part for Tesla Model 3 brake hydraulics. The coated surface finish and robust cast iron construction contribute to the longevity and consistent performance expected from the Element 3 series.

Technical Description and Features

This disc brake caliper features a single piston with a diameter of 1.686 inches (42.824 mm), providing effective clamping force for the Tesla Model 3's braking system. The floating caliper design allows the caliper to move laterally, ensuring even brake pad wear and smooth braking response. The included mounting bracket is coated to resist corrosion and fits securely with a 12 mm mounting hole size and 1.75 thread pitch. The bleeder screw with M10x1.00 thread facilitates proper brake fluid bleeding during maintenance. The semi-loaded configuration balances performance and ease of installation.

Compatible Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Tesla Model 3
• Addresses uneven brake pad wear caused by caliper sticking or binding
• Resolves brake fluid leakage issues related to caliper piston seals
• Improves braking performance when original caliper components have corroded
• Suitable for restoring proper brake hydraulics function in Tesla Model 3 vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is depressurized before removing the old caliper. Verify that the mounting bracket and hardware are compatible with the Tesla Model 3. Use the specified bleeder screw thread size M10x1.00 for brake fluid bleeding. Inspect brake pads and rotors for wear and replace if necessary to maintain optimal braking performance. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for mounting bolts to ensure secure installation.
