Rear Left or Right Disc Brake Caliper for 2002-2022 Nissan Altima & 2003-2023 Maxima

Rear Left or Right Disc Brake Caliper for Nissan Altima and Maxima

Replacement rear disc-brake caliper application for the source-listed 2002–2022 Nissan Altima and 2003–2023 Nissan Maxima. The source identifies rear-left and rear-right applications.

Critical fitment warning: These broad source ranges span multiple vehicle generations and brake-system revisions. The source does not divide fitment by generation, chassis code, body style, engine, trim, production date, rear-left versus rear-right reference, conventional versus electronic parking brake, caliper casting, piston diameter, bracket design, rotor diameter or thickness, hose connection, bleeder position, or mounting geometry. Do not order by model and broad year range alone. Confirm the VIN and compare the original caliper, exact rear side, casting, bracket, piston, rotor, hose fitting, bleeder, mounting points, and parking-brake design before ordering.

Source-Listed Compatibility

• 2002–2022 Nissan Altima — rear-left or rear-right disc-brake application; generation, Sedan/Coupe, engine, hybrid, and brake-package coverage not separated by the source
• 2003–2023 Nissan Maxima — rear-left or rear-right disc-brake application; generation, trim, and brake-package coverage not separated by the source

Important: The year ranges above are retained exactly from the source, but universal interchange across every generation and configuration is not independently established by the supplied data. Verify the original part and VIN-specific brake catalog before purchase.

Position, Side, and Quantity

• Axle position: Rear
• Brake type: Disc brake
• Side application: Rear left or rear right, as stated by the source
• Package quantity: Not specified by the source

“Rear Left & Right” confirms side applications but does not necessarily mean two calipers are included. The listing SKU contains two numbers, but a dual-number SKU also does not prove pair quantity or establish which number maps to each side. Verify the product images, selected variant if applicable, and received package.

Components Requiring Verification

The source does not confirm whether the caliper bracket, pads, slide pins, boots, clips, banjo bolt, copper washers, mounting bolts, parking-brake motor or lever hardware, or other installation parts are included. Do not assume these components are supplied unless shown and verified.

Reference Verification

No formal Nissan OE or interchange reference numbers are provided in the source description. Do not use the listing SKU alone as proof of interchange. Match the original caliper casting, side, bracket, piston, rotor specification, hose connection, bleeder location, mounting geometry, and parking-brake arrangement.

Installation Notes

Brake-caliper replacement is safety-critical work and should be performed by a qualified technician. Verify the correct rear side and parking-brake system before removing the original caliper. Vehicles with an electronic parking brake may require a specified service mode and scan-tool procedure. Never force or rotate a piston without confirming the correct procedure.

Inspect the opposite caliper, brake hose, rotor, pads, slide hardware, wheel bearing, parking-brake components, wiring where applicable, and brake-fluid condition. Use the VIN-specific Nissan procedure and torque specifications. Replace required seals and single-use hardware, prevent hose twisting, lubricate only approved contact points, and bleed the hydraulic system with the specified brake fluid.

Before road use, confirm a firm pedal, correct fluid level, free wheel rotation, proper parking-brake operation, no leaks, and balanced braking. Perform an initial low-speed brake test in a controlled area and complete any required electronic parking-brake calibration and pad/rotor bedding procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit both rear sides?
The source lists rear-left and rear-right applications, but it does not map references to sides. Match the received caliper to the required side.

Does the package include two calipers?
Package quantity is not confirmed. “Left & Right” and the dual-number SKU are not sufficient proof of a pair.

Does one caliper design fit every listed generation?
The source provides continuous broad ranges without generation-level details. Verify the VIN and every physical and brake-system feature against the original caliper.

Is the mounting bracket included?
Bracket inclusion is not confirmed by the source.
