Keep firm hydraulic pressure clamping your brake pads with the A1 CARDONE caliper — the Reman Disc Brake Caliper 18-4038 (also written 184038). This remanufactured, unloaded front left caliper (supplied without brake pads) is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, and it fits many vehicles, among them the 1971 Chevrolet Blazer, 1971 Chevrolet C10 Pickup and 1971 Chevrolet C10 Suburban. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
New bleeder screws provide trouble-free bleeding and a positive seal. A mounting bracket, banjo bolts, washers, stainless steel hardware clips and mounting pins are included where applicable. If a worn or leaking caliper is the cause of a soft pedal, uneven pad wear or brake drag, this replaces it. This listing is for one caliper; replacing both calipers on the same axle together is recommended for balanced braking.
What does "unloaded" mean on the A1 CARDONE brake caliper 18-4038?
Unloaded means the caliper ships without brake pads. Reuse your pads if they are in good condition, or order a new set separately to complete the job.
Is this the right brake caliper for a 1971 Chevrolet Blazer?
Yes, it is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1971 Chevrolet Blazer, along with other 1971 Chevrolet and GMC trucks, vans and SUVs. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
Is mounting hardware included?
A mounting bracket, banjo bolts, washers, stainless steel hardware clips and mounting pins are included where applicable, and new bleeder screws are provided for trouble-free bleeding.
Should I replace both calipers at the same time?
For balanced braking it is best practice to replace calipers as a matched pair on the same axle. This listing is for one caliper.
What are signs this caliper may need replacing?
Signs include fluid leaking at the caliper, a soft or spongy pedal, uneven pad wear, or the brake dragging. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as other parts can produce the same symptoms.
