Description

Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 12999141VT, this repair kit adheres to OE specifications, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically gives you everything you need to rebuild a brake caliper. It includes new piston seals, dust boots – those rubbery things that protect the piston – and sometimes new slide pins and bushings. Basically, all the soft parts inside the caliper that wear out over time. It doesn't include the caliper itself, just the parts to refresh the existing one. The caliper is a critical part of your braking system. It’s what squeezes the brake pads against the rotor to actually stop the car. This kit helps keep that action smooth and reliable. When the seals wear out, you can lose brake pressure, or the caliper might stick – causing uneven braking or even the brakes dragging. Think of the caliper as the muscle, and this kit keeps all the joints and connections working right.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Ignoring a failing caliper isn’t something you want to do, obviously. If it starts leaking brake fluid, that’s a big safety issue. Even if it doesn't leak right away, you’ll notice if your brake pedal feels spongy, or if the car pulls to one side when you brake. Rebuilding with this kit is often much cheaper than replacing the whole caliper, and it gets you back to safe, solid stopping power. If you’re handy, it’s a pretty straightforward job.
