Bring solid, even braking back to the front left corner with the PowerStop brake caliper L4072, an Autospecialty by PowerStop direct-replacement unit that bolts on in place of the original stock caliper with no modifications. This is the front-left caliper, sold individually, and it fits a wide range of GM applications including the 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro, the 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu, and the long-running 1982-2003 Chevrolet S10 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 30 vehicles.
Inside, the caliper's piston uses hydraulic pressure to press the brake pads against the rotor; a caliper that sticks, leaks, or seizes can cause uneven pad wear, a soft pedal, or a pull. If a failed caliper is the cause, this unit replaces it.
- Bolt-on ready: installs directly in the factory location, no modifications necessary.
- Freshly assembled: built with new seals, caliper guide pins, dust boots, bleeder screws, stainless-steel brake pad attachment hardware, and mounting brackets.
- High-temperature EPDM rubber dust boots plus premium assembly lubricant for smooth operation and durability.
- 100% pressure tested and inspected for reliable brake performance.
For balanced, even braking, replacing calipers on both sides of the axle as a matched pair is recommended best practice.
