Keep your brakes clamping evenly with the A1 CARDONE Remanufactured Unloaded Disc Brake Caliper (18-4300), a direct-fit replacement that makes finding a Ram 1500 brake caliper straightforward. It fits the 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500 along with GM trucks and vans such as the 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500 and K1500, 1990-2002 Chevrolet Astro, 1995-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe, 1990-1993 and 1997-1999 Cadillac DeVille, and more — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Pressure-tested build: every unit is 100% pressure-tested and fitted with new high-temperature EPDM rubber seals for extended life and consistent performance.
New pistons: durable pistons resist cracking or pitting and handle heavy loads.
Fresh hardware: new bleeder screws give trouble-free bleeding and a positive seal; the mounting bracket, banjo bolts, washers, and stainless clips and pins are included where applicable.
Corrosion protection: treated with a special rust inhibitor and kept in the original equipment finish, with a plastic cap plug protecting each brake port thread.
This unit ships unloaded, so it is supplied without brake pads. Signs your original caliper may need replacing include a sticking or dragging caliper, uneven pad wear, fluid leaking at the caliper, or the vehicle pulling to one side under braking — diagnose the cause before replacing.
