Detailed Product Description

This Raybestos disc brake caliper features a cast iron body that offers robust resistance to wear and heat, essential for maintaining braking efficiency. The floating caliper type allows for self-alignment during braking, reducing uneven pad wear. Equipped with two pistons, each with a diameter of 2.874 inches, the caliper applies even pressure to the brake pads, enhancing stopping power. The semi-loaded configuration balances weight and strength, while the 7/16"-24 bleeder screw thread facilitates standard brake fluid maintenance. The plain surface finish supports corrosion resistance without additional coatings, suitable for various vehicle environments.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or seized floating disc brake calipers
• Restores proper brake pad engagement and even wear
• Addresses brake fluid leakage issues related to bleeder screw threads
• Improves braking consistency in vehicles experiencing uneven stopping
• Suitable for vehicles requiring a semi-loaded, dual-piston caliper design

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model before installation. The FRC7700N caliper requires standard brake hydraulic system tools for mounting and bleeding. Use the 7/16"-24 bleeder screw thread to properly bleed air from the brake lines after installation. Verify piston movement and pad alignment during assembly to prevent uneven wear. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for mounting bolts to maintain safety and performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos manufactures the FRC7700N caliper as a new, unused component adhering to strict quality control standards. The cast iron construction and precise machining contribute to long service life and reliable braking performance. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or Raybestos directly, as warranty terms may vary by application and region.
