The included mounting bracket and coated surfaces help resist corrosion and simplify installation. The caliper is friction ready, meaning it is prepared for immediate use with compatible brake pads. The bleeder screw thread size M10x1.00 facilitates proper brake fluid bleeding during maintenance.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or seized disc brake calipers on Hyundai Optima and Kia Sonata
• Resolves uneven brake pad wear caused by caliper misalignment
• Addresses brake fluid leaks from damaged or corroded caliper components
• Improves braking response and pedal feel in vehicles with degraded calipers
• Restores proper brake function after caliper piston or seal failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the mounting bracket is securely fastened using the specified 12 mm mounting holes with 1.25 thread pitch. Verify the bleeder screw thread size M10x1.00 matches your brake system for proper bleeding. Before installation, inspect brake pads and rotors for wear and replace if necessary. Follow manufacturer torque specifications to avoid damage to the caliper or mounting hardware.
