Key Features & Advantages

• Robust Construction: Made from a high‑strength aluminum alloy combined with selective steel reinforcement, the caliper resists corrosion while maintaining lightweight characteristics for optimal vehicle dynamics.
• Optimized Heat Dissipation: Integrated vented piston chambers and strategically placed cooling fins allow efficient heat transfer during high‑intensity braking sessions, reducing fade and preserving performance.
• Precision Piston Design: Dual pistons are engineered for even pressure distribution across the brake pads, ensuring uniform wear and maximizing contact with the rotor surface.
• Versatile Compatibility: The caliper’s mounting geometry and bolt pattern match a broad spectrum of vehicle models, including various Mazda family cars (e.g., MX‑3, 323 C IV) and other OEM platforms that use the 726871 reference.
• Easy Maintenance: Removable piston seals and accessible hardware allow for straightforward servicing, enabling quick pad replacement or hydraulic bleed procedures without specialized tools.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle’s brake system is depressurized. Remove the existing caliper by loosening the mounting bolts and carefully disconnecting the hydraulic lines.
2. Mounting: Align the new ABS 726871 caliper with the wheel hub, ensuring that the piston faces are correctly oriented toward the rotor. Secure the mounting bolts to the specified torque values.
3. Hydraulic Connection: Reconnect the brake lines, taking care to avoid air pockets. Use a bleed kit if necessary to purge any trapped air from the system.
4. Pad Installation: Insert new brake pads into the caliper’s retaining clips. Verify that the pads sit flush against the piston faces.
5. Final Checks: Inspect all connections, confirm proper alignment of the rotor and caliper, and perform a brake pedal test to ensure adequate pressure and smooth operation.

Maintenance & Care Instructions

• Regular Inspection: Check for signs of wear on pistons, seals, and mounting hardware every 10,000 km or during routine service intervals.
• Piston Seal Replacement: Replace piston seals when they show signs of cracking or leakage to maintain hydraulic integrity.
• Cleaning: Use a brake cleaner spray to remove dust and debris from the caliper housing. Avoid contact with painted surfaces.
• Rotor Compatibility Check: Ensure that rotors are within the specified thickness range (22 mm – 54 mm) to prevent undue stress on the pistons.

Performance Highlights
