The A1 CARDONE 18-4044 front left brake caliper for the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro and other vehicles is a remanufactured, unloaded floating caliper that clamps the brake pads against the rotor.
- This A1 CARDONE brake caliper is remanufactured with brand-new components and 100% pressure-tested.
- The steel piston resists cracking and pitting and handles heavy loads.
- Rubber seals are replaced with new high temperature EPDM rubber.
- The caliper is treated with a rust inhibitor and kept in the original equipment finish.
- A new bleeder screw gives a positive seal, and a plastic cap plug covers each brake port thread.
A car that pulls to one side under braking, or brake fluid around the caliper, can mean a disc brake caliper is worn. Before you replace it, rule out sticky slides or pins and a collapsed brake hose, which can also make the car pull. This listing is a single caliper, and both front calipers are normally replaced together.
It is listed for a wide range of Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac models, including the 1969-1974 Chevrolet Nova and the 1973-1974 Buick Apollo. The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro takes one at this position. If your car is not named here, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
