Dynamic Friction 331-47181 front left brake caliper for the 1979-1983 Jeep Cherokee and other vehicles presses the pads against the rotor when you brake. Hydraulic pressure pushes the piston out, and the pads close on the rotor to slow the wheel.
A disc brake caliper that sticks or leaks can show up as a pull to one side when braking, a burning smell after a drive, or brake fluid near the wheel. These signs alone do not prove this part is the problem; a collapsed brake hose is another common cause. Calipers are normally replaced in pairs across the axle, and this listing is one caliper for the front left, so the front right is ordered separately. The front axle takes one caliper on each side.
It is listed for a wide range of Chevrolet, GMC and Jeep models, including the 1987-1991 Chevrolet Blazer and the 1989-1991 Chevrolet R1500 Suburban, in the front left position.
