Help bring firm, even braking back to your classic car or truck with the A1 CARDONE caliper 18-4036 (also written 184036), a remanufactured unloaded disc brake caliper for the front left position. It's a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1971-1976 Chevrolet Impala, 1971-1976 Chevrolet Caprice and 1971-1976 Buick LeSabre. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Because it ships unloaded, this A1 CARDONE brake caliper does not include brake pads — install your chosen pad set separately.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Does this A1 CARDONE brake caliper include brake pads?
No — it's an unloaded caliper, so it ships without pads. A new bleeder screw is included, plus hardware clips, mounting pins, banjo bolts, washers and the caliper bracket where applicable.
Is this a 1971-1976 Chevrolet Impala brake caliper?
Yes — it's listed as the front left caliper for the 1971-1976 Chevrolet Impala, along with many other vehicles. Confirm your exact year and vehicle on the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.
What are signs my caliper may need replacing?
Uneven or reduced braking, a pull to one side, fluid leaks at the caliper, sticking, or a piston that won't retract can indicate a caliper problem. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Is this caliper pressure-tested?
Yes — each remanufactured unit is 100% pressure-tested and rebuilt with brand-new components, including new high-temperature EPDM rubber seals.
Should I replace both calipers at the same time?
Replacing both calipers on the same axle together is recommended for balanced braking. This listing is for one front left caliper.
