Nugeon 97-17214A rear right brake caliper for the 1965-1982 Chevrolet Corvette clamps the pads against the rotor to slow the wheel. Sold as a remanufactured unit, this Nugeon brake caliper is also called a disc brake caliper.
Brake fluid around the caliper, uneven pad wear or a wheel that stays hot after a drive can mean a rear caliper is failing. Before you replace the caliper, rule out worn pads, a damaged brake hose or a sticking slide first, since any of those can also make a wheel drag or the car pull.
This caliper is a direct-fit replacement for the 1965-1982 Chevrolet Corvette. This listing is one caliper for the rear right; the rear left is a separate part, and the left side of that axle is normally done at the same time.
