Restore dependable clamping force to your brake system with the Raybestos Brakes Disc Brake Caliper FRC11936N. The caliper is the hydraulic actuator of a disc brake: when you press the pedal, fluid pressure pushes the piston in its bore, squeezing the brake pads against the rotor so the wheel can slow and stop. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm this caliper is listed for your vehicle before ordering.
- Hydraulic clamping: converts brake-line pressure into the pad-to-rotor clamping force that generates stopping friction.
- Piston actuation: the piston travels in the caliper bore to apply the pads and lets them release as pressure drops.
- Signs it may need replacing: fluid seeping at the caliper, a piston that sticks or won't retract, uneven pad wear, or a pull to one side under braking — diagnose the cause first, and if a failed caliper is that cause, this replaces it.
Calipers work in a matched pair across an axle. Although sold individually, replacing the caliper on both sides together is good practice for even, balanced braking. Manufacturer part number FRC11936N.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a disc brake caliper do?
It houses the piston that presses the brake pads against the rotor. When you apply the pedal, hydraulic pressure in the caliper bore creates the clamping force that slows the wheel.
How do I know if my caliper is failing?
Common signs include brake fluid seeping at the caliper, a sticking piston that won't retract, uneven or rapid pad wear, and a pull to one side when braking. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing.
Should I replace calipers in pairs?
This caliper is sold individually, but calipers work as a matched pair across an axle. Replacing both sides together is good practice for even, balanced braking.
Will this caliper fit my vehicle?
Please check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the FRC11936N is listed for your year, make, model, and engine before ordering.
Do I need to service anything else when replacing the caliper?
Inspect the brake pads, rotor, hose, and hardware, and follow the vehicle service procedure for bleeding the brakes and the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
