Nugeon 97-17011D brake caliper for the 1995-2005 Freightliner FL50 and other vehicles squeezes the brake pads against the rotor to slow the wheel. This is a remanufactured Nugeon brake caliper of the fixed type.
A caliper that sticks or leaks can show up as the vehicle pulling to one side, pads worn unevenly or wet fluid around the dust boots. Before replacing it, look over the boots, the piston area and the pad wear on both sides of the axle during a brake service, because a hose or another brake part can give similar signs. A shop can test the hydraulics.
Listed for a wide range of Freightliner, Chevrolet, GMC, International and Sterling Truck models, this caliper also fits the 1992-2005 Freightliner FL70 and the 1992-2005 Freightliner FL80. The vehicle takes one caliper on each side of the axle, and this listing is a single caliper; the one on the other side of the same axle is normally done at the same time. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section and look up your own model and engine.
