ABS 421082 Brake Caliper

Overview

The ABS 421082 Brake Caliper is a high‑performance component designed for modern automotive braking systems. It offers reliable stopping power, durability, and ease of installation across a wide range of vehicles.

Key Features

• Material Composition: Made from high‑strength aluminum alloy, the caliper provides excellent heat dissipation while keeping weight low.
• Dual‑Piston Design: The dual pistons deliver balanced pressure to the brake pads, ensuring consistent braking performance and reducing pad wear.
• Corrosion Resistance: An advanced anodized finish protects against rust and corrosion in harsh environments.
• Compatibility: Engineered for use with a variety of ABS (Anti‑Lock Braking System) vehicles, including models from Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Lancia, and others.
• Precision Machining: Tight tolerances guarantee smooth piston movement and minimal play, enhancing braking feel.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Remove the existing brake caliper by loosening the mounting bolts. Ensure the rotor is clean and free of debris.
2. Mounting: Align the new ABS 421082 Brake Caliper with the mounting holes on the suspension arm. Secure with M12 bolts, tightening to the manufacturer’s torque specification.
3. Piston Re‑positioning: Use a piston retraction tool to compress the pistons back into the caliper housing before installing new brake pads.
4. Brake Pad Installation: Slide the new pads onto the caliper, ensuring they sit flush against the rotor surface.
5. Bleeding: Bleed the braking system to remove air bubbles and restore optimal hydraulic pressure.
6. Testing: Perform a low‑speed test drive to confirm proper operation before returning to normal use.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the caliper for seals integrity and replace if signs of wear appear.
• Keep the rotor surface clean; use a brake cleaner spray to remove oil or brake dust buildup.
• Check piston movement periodically; any resistance may indicate seal failure.
• Store the caliper in a dry environment to prevent corrosion, even though it has an anodized finish.

Performance Benefits

The ABS 421082 Brake Caliper delivers:

• Consistent stopping power across varying road conditions due to its dual‑piston system.
• Reduced heat buildup, minimizing brake fade during prolonged use.
• A lighter weight compared to cast iron alternatives, improving vehicle handling and fuel efficiency.
• Longer service life thanks to corrosion‑resistant materials and robust construction.

Applications Across Vehicle Models

This caliper is suitable for a broad spectrum of vehicles:

• Chrysler Voyager (4‑wheel)
• Dodge models – including the 2015–2020 Dodge Charger and Challenger.
• Fiat and Lancia compact cars equipped with ABS systems.
• Other ABS‑enabled vehicles that require a standard dual‑piston caliper.

Conclusion

The ABS 421082 Brake Caliper stands out as a reliable, high‑quality component for modern braking systems. Its combination of lightweight construction, durable materials, and precise engineering ensures that drivers receive dependable stopping performance while maintaining vehicle integrity.
