Front Disc Brake Caliper for Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn

Replacement front disc brake caliper application for specific Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6 and Solstice, and Saturn Aura and Sky configurations. Wheel size, piston design, and GM brake-option codes are critical for correct fitment.

Fitment warning: Verify the model year, exact model, wheel size, piston count, GM RPO brake code, original caliper shape, hose connection, bleeder position, mounting points, bracket arrangement, and reference number before ordering. Check the vehicle’s Service Parts Identification label for J65 or JL9 where required, and verify by VIN with a qualified brake-parts specialist if uncertain.

Common Replacement Indicators

• Brake drag or a wheel that remains unusually hot

• Vehicle pulls to one side while braking

These symptoms can also involve brake hoses, pads, rotors, wheel bearings, hydraulic faults, or other components. Inspect the complete braking system before replacing parts.

Installation Notes

Brake components are safety-critical and should be installed by a qualified technician. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedures and torque specifications. Inspect the pads, rotors, hoses, fluid, mounting hardware, and opposite-side caliper. Bleed the hydraulic system correctly and verify firm pedal feel, leak-free operation, wheel rotation, and balanced braking in a safe area before normal road use.
