Wabco 13151249 Bolt 340 V-I

Description

The Bolt 340 V-I is a crucial component within the brake system, specifically designed for brake caliper applications. It's a vital part of ensuring reliable brake control and functionality. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 13151249, this component is made to OE specification. Its precise engineering contributes to enhanced braking performance, improved safety, and extended service life.

Key Features & Benefits

This caliper essentially squeezes the brake pads against the rotor when you hit the brakes. Inside it, you've got pistons that push those pads in, and that friction is what slows and stops your vehicle. It houses the pistons, the brake pads, and provides the hydraulic pressure needed for stopping power. It's a pretty key component. It's part of your braking system, obviously. Specifically, it’s one of the components that actually applies the braking force to the wheel. You've got a master cylinder that creates the initial pressure, brake lines that carry that pressure, and then the caliper takes that hydraulic pressure and turns it into mechanical force – squeezing the pads. Each wheel has one, so it’s responsible for a quarter of your total stopping power.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without it, you simply won’t be able to stop! It’s a safety critical part. Think of it like a shield protecting you from not being able to slow down or stop when you need to. You’ll notice if a caliper starts to fail— things like pulling to one side when braking, longer stopping distances, or even a squealing or grinding noise coming from the wheel. Ignoring a bad caliper can cause serious damage to the rotor, and obviously, is a real safety hazard. You can usually find a good replacement like the Bolt 340 V – I online at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s something you definitely want to keep in good working order.
