Put fresh clamping force back at the front right wheel with the A1 CARDONE brake caliper, part number 18-4059, a remanufactured, unloaded caliper that uses hydraulic pressure to squeeze the brake pads against the rotor. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1973-1976 Chevrolet Malibu, 1970-1976 Chevrolet Camaro and 1973-1976 Chevrolet El Camino, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
CARDONE remanufactures each caliper to its own quality and performance standards, fits it with new components, and pressure-tests every unit. Because it is an unloaded caliper, it ships without brake pads.
Where applicable, this A1 CARDONE caliper also comes with a mounting bracket, new banjo bolts, new washers, new stainless steel hardware clips and new mounting pins. The disc brake caliper is a remanufactured original equipment part, and CARDONE says its remanufacturing process cuts the energy and raw material needed to make a new part by 80%. For even braking, it is commonly recommended to inspect the front left caliper and service both sides together.

Will this work as a Camaro brake caliper on my 1970-1976 Chevrolet Camaro?

Is this the right Chevy Malibu brake caliper for a 1973-1976 model?
It is listed for the front right wheel of the 1973-1976 Chevrolet Malibu, and it also fits the 1973-1976 Chevrolet El Camino. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the other listed vehicles.
Are brake pads included with this caliper?
No. It is an unloaded caliper, so it ships without brake pads. A mounting bracket, banjo bolts, washers, hardware clips and mounting pins are included where applicable.
What does a brake caliper do?
When you press the brake pedal, the caliper uses hydraulic pressure to squeeze the brake pads against the rotor. This creates the friction that slows the wheel.
What are signs a caliper may need replacing?
Common signs include brake fluid leaking at the caliper, the vehicle pulling to one side, a dragging brake or uneven pad wear. Diagnose the cause first, because other brake parts can cause the same symptoms.
