Raybestos Brakes Disc Brake Caliper P/N:FRC12912C
Put all-new, zinc-plated hardware back at the front left wheel with the Raybestos Element3 Brake Caliper FRC11617N, a semi-loaded caliper and bracket assembly that uses hydraulic pressure to press the brake pads against the rotor. It is listed for several models, among them the 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR and 2007-2008 Saturn SKY. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Raybestos builds the Element3 line of new plated calipers for quality-driven customers. The line is precision engineered to meet OE performance and durability.
This floating caliper has a 60.2 mm (2.37 in) piston and an M10x1 bleeder screw thread. Its bracket mounting holes measure 12.000 mm with a 1.750 mm thread pitch. Country of origin: China.
If you are shopping for an HHR brake caliper, watch for these signs that the caliper may need replacing: the vehicle pulls to one side, brake fluid seeps at the caliper, a brake drags or sticks, or the pads wear unevenly. The listed applications use one caliper at this position. For even braking, consider replacing the right-side caliper at the same time.

It is listed for the front left position on the 2004-2008 Chevrolet Malibu. The Buyer's Guide tab shows every listed application.
What does a disc brake caliper do?
When you press the pedal, brake fluid pressure pushes the caliper piston so the pads clamp the rotor. A floating design like this one slides so it can apply pressure from both sides.
What are the key specs of FRC11617N?
It has a 60.2 mm (2.37 in) piston and an M10x1 bleeder screw thread. The bracket mounting holes are 12.000 mm with a 1.750 mm thread pitch, and the housing is zinc-plated cast iron.
Is the bracket included?
Yes. This Element3 unit is a semi-loaded caliper and bracket assembly, and all of its components are newly manufactured.
What should I do after installing it?
Bleed the brake system to remove air. Follow the vehicle service information for torque values and for whether the original fasteners may be reused.
