CARDONE Reman Disc Brake Caliper P/N:18-5324
Restore firm, dependable braking with the A1 CARDONE caliper 18-B4744, a remanufactured unloaded disc brake caliper with bracket that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998 Dodge B2500, the 1998 Dodge B3500, and the 1998-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 Van and Ram 3500 Van. The caliper houses the piston that clamps the brake pads against the rotor to slow the wheel; because it is "unloaded," brake pads are not included.
Signs a caliper may need replacing include a sticking or dragging brake, uneven pad wear, a pull to one side, or fluid weeping at the caliper. If a failed caliper is the cause, this unit replaces it. For even, balanced braking, replacing the caliper on both sides as a matched pair is recommended, though this listing is for one caliper. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment for your vehicle.
