Put a freshly remanufactured caliper back at the rear left wheel with this A1 CARDONE brake caliper, part number 18-B4940. This unloaded unit clamps the brake pads against the rotor when you press the pedal, and it ships with its mounting bracket. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2002-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
Every A1 CARDONE caliper is remanufactured to CARDONE's quality and performance standards using new components. Its pistons are built to be durable, to resist cracking and pitting, and to handle heavy loads.
- Pressure-tested: Each unit is 100% pressure-tested and is intended to deliver consistent brake performance.
- New seals: The rubber seals are replaced with new high-temperature EPDM rubber.
- New bleeder screw and port protection: A new bleeder screw allows straightforward bleeding and gives a positive seal. A plastic cap plug protects every brake port thread.
- Corrosion protection: The caliper is treated with a specially formulated rust inhibitor and kept in its original equipment finish.
Depending on the application, CARDONE also supplies new banjo bolts, washers, stainless steel hardware clips and mounting pins. Because the caliper is sold unloaded, brake pads are purchased separately. It is sold individually for the rear left position, and replacing both calipers on the axle together is recommended for balanced braking. CARDONE's remanufacturing process uses 80% less energy and raw material than making a new part.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a disc brake caliper do?
It holds the brake pads and uses hydraulic brake-fluid pressure to squeeze them against the rotor, which slows the wheel. This 18-B4940 unit is for the rear left position.
Is this the right 2002-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe brake caliper?
The 18-B4940 is listed for the rear left position on the 2002-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact vehicle.

Yes. It is listed for the rear left position on the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and it also fits the 2005 GMC Sierra 1500.
What comes in the box?
You get the remanufactured caliper with its mounting bracket, a new bleeder screw, and a plastic cap plug on each brake port thread. It is sold unloaded, so brake pads are not included.
What are signs a brake caliper may need replacing?
Signs can include brake fluid leaking at the caliper, the vehicle pulling to one side when braking, a dragging or sticking brake, or uneven pad wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing any parts.
