What this part does
The Rear Right Brake Caliper applies hydraulic pressure to force the brake pads against the brake rotor, creating the friction necessary to slow or stop the vehicle. Mounted to the rear passenger side of the knuckle, this specific caliper design for the Porsche Macan incorporates an integrated electronic parking brake (EPB) actuator. When the internal square-cut seals harden or the guide pins lose lubrication, the caliper can stick, resulting in a dragging brake, uneven pad wear, or pulling to one side. A failure within the attached EPB motor will trigger a dashboard warning and may lock the rear wheel or prevent the parking brake from engaging entirely.

Before you order
- The vehicle's electronic parking brake system must be retracted into a designated service mode using a compatible OBD2 diagnostic scanner before the old caliper can be removed or the replacement installed.
- Inspect the electrical connector for the EPB motor on your vehicle's wiring harness for corrosion or melting prior to installation.
- While calipers can be replaced individually, always install new brake pads and machine or replace the brake rotors on both the left and right sides of the axle to maintain balanced braking geometry.
- A complete brake system bleed is required after installation to purge air introduced into the hydraulic lines.
