What this part does
The brake caliper mounts over the brake rotor and houses the hydraulic pistons and brake pads. When the brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder forces the pistons outward, clamping the pads against the rotor to slow or stop the vehicle. If a caliper fails, the internal piston may seize or the slide pins may stick. This typically results in uneven pad wear, a burning smell from the affected wheel, the vehicle pulling to one side during braking, or constant drag that reduces fuel efficiency.

Before you order
This is a lightweight aluminum caliper specific to the front right (passenger) side of the vehicle. Calipers are directional and cannot be installed on the driver side. Before ordering, verify whether your vehicle is equipped with the standard braking system or an upgraded M-Sport/high-speed braking package, as rotor diameters and caliper sizes differ significantly between these options.
This assembly includes brake pads with near-new thickness remaining from the vehicle it came from. When installing, you must thoroughly bleed the hydraulic brake line at this wheel to remove any air introduced during the swap. Inspect the flexible rubber brake hose connecting to the caliper for any cracking or internal collapse prior to installation.
