Raybestos Brakes Disc Brake Caliper P/N:FRC12596
Keep hydraulic pressure squeezing your brake pads onto the rotor with the Raybestos Brakes Disc Brake Caliper FRC11936N. As the hydraulically actuated clamp in a disc brake system, the caliper houses the piston that pushes the brake pads against the rotor to generate the friction that slows the vehicle — a job it repeats every time you press the pedal. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm this caliper fits your specific year, make, model and engine before ordering.
Signs the original caliper may need replacing include a sticking or seized piston, brake drag or a pull to one side, uneven pad wear, or fluid weeping at the piston seal or bleeder. Because braking issues can have several causes, diagnose the source before replacing — if a failed caliper is the cause, this unit replaces it. For even, balanced braking, service calipers, pads, and hardware as directed by the vehicle's brake procedure.
What does a disc brake caliper do?
It uses hydraulic brake-fluid pressure to drive a piston that clamps the brake pads against the rotor, creating the friction that slows and stops the vehicle.
How do I know if my brake caliper is failing?
Common signs include a sticking or seized piston, brake drag, pulling to one side, uneven pad wear, or brake fluid leaking at the piston seal or bleeder screw. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Will this caliper fit my vehicle?
Check the Buyer's Guide tab and confirm the year, make, model, and engine before ordering, since no fitment is listed here for MPN FRC11936N.
Should I replace calipers in pairs?
Replacing calipers on both sides of the same axle is a recommended best practice for even, balanced braking, though it is not strictly required. Follow the vehicle's brake service procedure.
Do I need to bleed the brakes after installing this caliper?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic system to install a caliper introduces air, so bleed the brakes and confirm a firm pedal per the vehicle service information before driving.
