If the rear right caliper is sticking, leaking or seized, this A1 CARDONE caliper (part number 18-4303) is a remanufactured, unloaded replacement that turns hydraulic pressure into clamping force at the rotor. It fits many vehicles as a direct-fit replacement for the rear right position, among them the 1991-1994 Dodge Spirit, 1989-1993 Dodge Daytona and 1989-1994 Chrysler LeBaron; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
CARDONE remanufactures each unit to strict quality and performance standards and fits it with new components. Every caliper is 100% pressure-tested.
- New seals and boots: the rubber seals are replaced with new high-temperature EPDM rubber, and dust boots are included.
- Phenolic piston: a single 1.415 in (35.941 mm) phenolic piston in a floating caliper design. The piston is built to resist cracking and pitting and to handle heavy loads.
- Rust protection: the cast iron casting (casting number 120 753) is treated with a specially formulated rust inhibitor and keeps its original equipment finish. The finish is oil emulsion and the color is gray.
- Ready to connect and bleed: the caliper has a banjo-type inlet with 7/16x20 thread (0.437 in port) and a new 3/8x24 bleeder screw. A plastic cap plug protects the brake port thread until installation.
In the box: the caliper, a hardware kit and an instruction sheet. Mounting hole diameter is 0.725 in (18.40775 mm). Brake pads, pad wear sensor, mounting bracket, mounting bolts, abutment clips and bleeder screw cap are not included. It is sold individually, one per application at the rear right position.
CARDONE's remanufacturing process reduces the energy and raw material needed to make a new part by 80%. Country of origin: Mexico.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this A1 CARDONE brake caliper include pads or a mounting bracket?
No. It is sold unloaded, so brake pads are not included, and the mounting bracket is not included. The box contains the caliper, a hardware kit and an instruction sheet.
Can I swap a phenolic-piston caliper for a steel-piston one, or vice versa?
It isn't recommended. The vehicle manufacturer specified steel or phenolic pistons based on the vehicle's intended use, so follow the original specification. This unit uses a phenolic piston.
Which brake fluid should I use when installing this disc brake caliper?
Use the brake fluid the vehicle manufacturer recommends. The type is stamped on the master cylinder reservoir lid. Always use new fluid from a sealed container.
My car pulls to one side when braking. What should I check?
Inspect both calipers for binding or sticky slides or pins. Make sure the brake hoses are not collapsed or restricted, and check the steering and suspension components. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
Is this the right Daytona brake caliper for a 1989-1993 Dodge Daytona?
Yes. It is listed for the rear right position on the 1989-1993 Dodge Daytona. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your vehicle.
