ABS 422082 Brake Caliper

ABS 422082 Brake Caliper

The ABS 422082 Brake Caliper is a high‑performance braking component engineered for optimal stopping power and durability across a wide range of automotive platforms. Designed with precision machining and advanced material selection, this caliper delivers consistent performance even under demanding driving conditions.

Design & Construction

• Material Composition: The caliper body is fabricated from a proprietary gray cast iron alloy that offers excellent heat dissipation and structural integrity. This material choice ensures the component can withstand repeated thermal cycling without warping.
• Pin Design: Featuring a robust pin mechanism, the caliper provides smooth actuation of the pistons while maintaining alignment under high load scenarios.
• Piston Configuration: Dual piston arrangement allows for even brake pad wear and balanced pressure distribution across the rotor surface.
• Cooling Features: Integrated cooling fins enhance airflow, reducing heat buildup during prolonged braking sessions.

Performance Characteristics

The ABS 422082 Brake Caliper is engineered to deliver superior stopping performance. Its design ensures rapid pressure build‑up and consistent pad contact, resulting in:

• Reduced brake fade during high‑temperature operation.
• Improved modulation for precise vehicle control.
• Enhanced durability against corrosion and wear.

Compatibility & Applications

This caliper is compatible with a broad spectrum of vehicles, particularly those equipped with the ABS 422082 brake system. Common applications include:

• Front right side (Vorderachse rechts) on Fiat models such as Punto II and Bravo.
• Front left side on Lancia Delta II and other European compact cars.
• Both front and rear positions in various A.B.S. brake assemblies.

It is also available under multiple language designations, reflecting its global usage:

• Bremssattel Vorderachse rechts ABS 422082
• A.B.S. Pinza de Freno 422082
• Étrier de frein A.B.S. 422082
• Pinça de travão A.B.S. 422082

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported on jack stands. Remove the wheel and brake rotor to access the caliper.
2. Removal of Existing Caliper: Loosen the mounting bolts, carefully detach the caliper from the bracket, and set it aside. Keep the pistons in place to avoid damage to the brake pads.
3. Installation of ABS 422082: Align the new caliper with the mounting holes on the brake bracket. Secure it using the supplied bolts, tightening them to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
4. Piston Re‑extension: Use a piston re‑extension tool to push the pistons back into their housings, ensuring they are fully seated and free of debris.
5. Reassembly: Place the brake rotor onto the hub, reinstall the wheel, and torque the lug nuts in a star pattern. Lower the vehicle and perform a brake test to confirm proper operation.

Maintenance & Care Tips

• Inspect the caliper for signs of corrosion or wear every 10,000 miles (or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer).
• Clean the caliper body and pistons with a brake cleaner to remove oil or grease residues.
• Check piston seals periodically; replace them if they show signs of leakage.
• Ensure that brake fluid is fresh and at the correct level to maintain hydraulic integrity.
