J.C. Whitney SET-JJ27160011 Rear Brake Caliper Kit 2-Wheel Set OEM Replacement

The J.C. Whitney SET-JJ27160011 is a rear disc brake caliper kit designed as a direct OEM replacement for the Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot (2007–2017). This 2-wheel set includes both the driver-side and passenger-side rear brake calipers, delivering a complete axle replacement in a single purchase for balanced, even braking performance.

Brake calipers are a critical component of your vehicle's disc brake system. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic fluid activates the caliper piston, which forces the brake pads to clamp against the rotor — generating the friction needed to slow and stop the vehicle. A seized or dragging caliper is a common failure point on this platform, often causing brake pull, uneven pad wear, and a burning smell. Replacing both rear calipers simultaneously ensures equal hydraulic pressure and pad engagement side-to-side.

Replacing rear brake calipers in pairs is strongly recommended to maintain consistent hydraulic pressure and prevent pulling or uneven wear. Consider inspecting and replacing the flexible brake hoses at the same time, as a collapsed hose can cause a new caliper to stick prematurely.
