Rear Brake Caliper for Dodge Nitro, Jeep Liberty & Wrangler JK

Rear Brake Caliper for Dodge Nitro, Jeep Liberty and Wrangler

Rear brake caliper application for the source-listed Dodge Nitro, Jeep Liberty, Jeep Wrangler, and Jeep Wrangler JK model years below.

Critical fitment warning: Rear calipers can vary by left or right side, axle and brake package, drivetrain, trim, rotor diameter and thickness, piston configuration, hose connection, mounting bracket, parking-brake system, and production date. Confirm the VIN, exact model and configuration, original caliper casting and reference number, mounting points, hose-port location, bleeder position, piston count, bracket spacing, and rotor specifications before ordering.

Source-Listed Compatibility

• 2007–2011 Dodge Nitro
• 2008–2012 Jeep Liberty
• 2007–2017 Jeep Wrangler
• 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK

This is not a universal 2008–2018 Jeep application. Only the Jeep models and exact ranges above are supported by the supplied source. Other Jeep models and the non-JK 2018 Wrangler configuration are not confirmed.

The source does not distinguish engines, 2WD or 4WD drivetrains, trim levels, axle packages, wheel sizes, rotor sizes, production dates, or special brake options within these ranges. Verify every vehicle individually.

Position and Package Verification

• Axle position: Rear
• Exact side: Not specified
• Package quantity: Not specified
• Parking-brake configuration: Not specified
• Caliper bracket: Not separately confirmed
• Brake pads: Not confirmed
• Mounting hardware: Not confirmed

The source does not identify front-left or rear-right part-number mapping. The dual-number SKU does not independently prove that two calipers are included or establish which number belongs to each side. Compare each physical component with the original part before installation.

The source does not specify caliper material, finish, piston count or diameter, inlet thread, bleeder thread, mounting-bolt spacing, bracket inclusion, parking-brake hardware, pad hardware, banjo bolt, crush washers, lubricant, brake fluid, or installation fasteners. Confirm the product images and received package before disassembly.

Installation Notes

Professional brake-system installation is strongly recommended. Safely support the vehicle and follow the exact model-, side-, axle-, and brake-package-specific service procedure. Brake fluid can damage painted surfaces; protect surrounding finishes and dispose of fluid according to local requirements.

Before installation, compare the replacement component with the original caliper for left or right orientation, casting, piston and bore arrangement, bracket and slide-pin design, mounting-hole spacing, rotor clearance, brake-hose port, banjo-bolt or threaded fitting, bleeder-screw location, parking-brake arrangement, pad shape, and wheel clearance. The bleeder must be positioned so trapped air can be removed correctly.

Inspect the brake hose, rotor, pads, parking-brake components, wheel bearing, dust shield, mounting bolts, slide pins, seals, and mating surfaces. Replace damaged or manufacturer-designated single-use parts as required. Never allow the caliper to hang from the brake hose. Use new sealing washers where required and keep fluid and lubricant away from friction surfaces.

Install and torque all fasteners and hose fittings to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications. Bleed the brake system using the specified fluid and sequence, restore the reservoir level, and check thoroughly for leaks. Pump the brake pedal until normal firmness is restored before moving the vehicle.

Set or adjust the parking brake as required by the vehicle procedure. Test braking at low speed in a controlled area before road use. Confirm a firm pedal, even braking, correct wheel rotation, normal parking-brake operation, no leaks, no warning lights, and no contact between the caliper, rotor, hose, wheel, or suspension. Follow the pad and rotor manufacturer's bedding procedure when applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The source identifies a rear brake caliper application.

Is it rear-left or rear-right?
The source does not provide a verified side assignment. Do not determine the side from SKU order alone.

Are two calipers included?
Package quantity is not stated. A dual-number SKU does not independently prove that the package contains a pair.

Is the mounting bracket included?
The source does not separately confirm brackets, pads, banjo bolts, washers, slide hardware, parking-brake hardware, or mounting bolts. Confirm from the product images and received package.

Must the brake system be bled after installation?
Yes. Any time the hydraulic circuit is opened, bleed it using the vehicle manufacturer's procedure and specified brake fluid.
