ABS 728911 Brake Caliper

ABS 728911 Brake Caliper

The ABS 728911 Brake Caliper is a high‑performance braking component engineered for modern automotive applications. Designed with precision machining and advanced materials, it delivers reliable stopping power while maintaining durability under demanding conditions.

Key Features

• Dual‑Piston Design: The caliper incorporates a dual‑piston mechanism that ensures even pressure distribution across the brake pads, enhancing braking efficiency and reducing wear.
• Lightweight Construction: Made from high‑strength aluminum alloy, the caliper offers a significant weight reduction compared to traditional steel units, contributing to improved vehicle handling and fuel economy.
• Optimized Heat Dissipation: Integrated cooling fins and a vented design allow for rapid heat dissipation during heavy braking, preventing brake fade and maintaining consistent performance.
• Corrosion Resistance: The aluminum body is treated with a protective anodized coating, safeguarding the caliper against rust and environmental degradation.
• Compatibility: Specifically engineered for Hyundai models such as the Getz, Accent II, Lantra I, Pony, and Excel, the ABS 728911 fits seamlessly into both front and rear brake assemblies where a 19mm rotor thickness is required.
• Ease of Installation: The caliper features standardized mounting points and clear labeling for quick identification during assembly or maintenance.

Technical Specifications

Applications and Vehicle Compatibility

The ABS 728911 is tailored for a range of Hyundai vehicles, ensuring optimal braking performance across different models:

• Hyundai Getz – Front & Rear
• Hyundai Accent II (2002–present)
• Hyundai Lantra I (1990–1995)
• Hyundai Pony (1989–1995)
• Hyundai Excel (various generations)
• Other models requiring a 19mm rotor thickness and 54mm diameter

Installation Guidelines

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Remove existing calipers carefully, noting the position of bolts and retaining clips.
2. Cleaning: Clean all mounting surfaces with a solvent to remove grease or debris that could impede proper seating.
Mounting: Align the ABS 728911 caliper with the mounting brackets. Secure using the supplied bolts, tightening in a cross‑pattern to ensure even pressure.
3. Brake Pad Installation: Insert new brake pads into the caliper’s piston chambers. Verify that the pads sit flush against the rotor surface.
4. Bleeding: Bleed the braking system according to manufacturer specifications to eliminate air pockets and restore hydraulic integrity.
5. Testing: Perform a low‑speed test drive to confirm proper operation before resuming normal driving conditions.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect caliper pistons for signs of wear or leakage every 10,000 km.
• Check the integrity of the anodized coating; any scratches may lead to corrosion over time.
• Replace brake pads when pad thickness falls below 4mm.
• Ensure that all mounting bolts remain torque‑tight and free from rust or deformation.

Performance Benefits

The ABS 728911 Brake Caliper delivers:

• Consistent stopping power even under high‑temperature conditions.
• Reduced unsprung weight, enhancing vehicle dynamics and ride quality.
• Longer component life due to corrosion‑resistant construction.
• Improved safety through reliable braking performance across a wide range of driving scenarios.

Conclusion

The ABS 728911 Brake Caliper stands out as a robust, lightweight, and highly compatible component for Hyundai vehicles requiring precise braking solutions. Its dual‑piston design, advanced material composition, and thoughtful engineering make it an ideal choice for both OEM replacements and high‑performance upgrades.
