Rear Left & Right Brake Caliper Application for Acura RDX, Honda CR-V & Crosstour

Rear Brake Caliper Application for Acura RDX, Honda CR-V and Crosstour

Rear brake caliper application for the source-listed Acura RDX, Honda CR-V, and Honda Crosstour model years below. The supplied fitment identifies both rear-left and rear-right positions.

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

Source-Listed Compatibility

• 2013–2018 Acura RDX — rear-left and rear-right application
• 2007–2016 Honda CR-V — rear-left and rear-right application
• 2012–2015 Honda Crosstour — rear-left and rear-right application

The source does not distinguish engines, FWD or AWD drivetrains, trim levels, wheel sizes, rotor sizes, production dates, or other brake-system options within these ranges. Verify every vehicle individually rather than relying on model and year alone.

Position and Package Verification

• Axle position: Rear
• Side application: Rear left and rear right
• Package quantity: Not separately stated
• Parking-brake type: Not specified
• Caliper bracket: Not separately confirmed
• Brake pads: Not confirmed
• Mounting hardware: Not confirmed

The source identifies both rear sides as applications but does not explicitly state how many calipers are included or map part numbers to left and right. Do not use the SKU order alone to assign sides. Confirm package contents and compare each physical component with the original caliper 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 lever or actuator inclusion, pad hardware, banjo bolt, crush washers, lubricant, brake fluid, or installation hardware. Confirm the product images and received components before disassembly.

Installation Notes

Professional brake-system installation is strongly recommended. Safely support the vehicle and follow the exact model-, drivetrain-, side-, and brake-package-specific service procedure. If the vehicle uses an electronic parking brake, place the system in the required service mode with suitable diagnostic equipment before retracting or servicing the rear caliper.

Before installation, compare each 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 lever or actuator, cable routing, pad shape, wear-sensor provisions, and wheel clearance. The bleeder must be positioned so trapped air can be removed correctly.

Inspect the brake hoses, rotors, pads, parking-brake cables or actuators, wheel bearings, dust shields, mounting bolts, slide pins, seals, and mating surfaces. Replace damaged or manufacturer-designated single-use parts as required. Never allow a caliper to hang from the brake hose. Use new sealing washers where required and keep brake 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 calibrate the parking-brake system as required by the vehicle procedure. Test braking at low speed in a controlled area before road use. Confirm a firm pedal, even braking, normal parking-brake operation, correct wheel rotation, 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

Is this for the rear axle?
Yes. The source identifies a rear brake caliper application.

Does it cover both rear-left and rear-right positions?
Yes. Both positions are source-listed, but the source does not map part numbers to each side. Compare the physical components with the originals.

Are two calipers included?
The package quantity is not separately stated. Left-and-right application does not by itself confirm that two calipers are included.

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

Does it work with an electronic parking brake?
The parking-brake type and actuator configuration are not specified. Match the original caliper and vehicle system before ordering.

Does it fit every RDX, CR-V, and Crosstour in the listed years?
Not automatically. Verify the VIN, drivetrain, trim, production date, parking-brake system, rotor dimensions, and original caliper.

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.
