This brake caliper is commonly used in various vehicle applications requiring efficient and durable brake performance. It is an OE specification part, ensuring compatibility and performance. Measuring 129 x 172 x 173 mm, this version includes pads for immediate use and features a 12.7 mm brake disc. The caliper utilizes a 7/16 - 20 UNF - 2B port thread and a 1/2 - 13 UNC - 2B mounting configuration, and is a 340 V-IOE type device.
Key Features & Benefits
This caliper houses the brake pads and uses hydraulic pressure to squeeze those pads against the rotor – that’s the metal disc that spins with your wheel. Essentially, it converts the force from your brake pedal into stopping power. It’s got pistons inside that push the pads, and it also includes the hardware to hold everything together, like clips and bolts. There's a bleeder screw for flushing the brake fluid too, that's important for maintenance.
The disc brake, and the caliper as a key component, is fundamentally about controlling the speed of your vehicle. Without it, you wouldn’t be able to slow down or stop effectively. Think of it as the final piece in the puzzle – you press the pedal, fluid travels through the lines, and the caliper acts like a shield, clamping down on the rotor to create friction and bring things to a halt. Each wheel has its own caliper and rotor working together.
Symptoms, Risks & Replacements
This is a safety item, plain and simple. If your caliper fails, you lose braking power on that wheel, which can lead to extended stopping distances or even a loss of control. You’ll notice if something's wrong usually – maybe pulling to one side when braking, a spongy brake pedal, or a grinding noise. It's always best to address brake issues immediately. We stock a lot of these, and you can often find the exact one you need over at Fixparts Online, but we can help you confirm the correct part too, of course. Regular inspection and maintenance will keep it working properly, and prevent bigger problems down the road.
