J.C. Whitney JK27160008 Rear Left Disc Brake Caliper OEM Replacement

The J.C. Whitney JK27160008 is an OEM-replacement rear disc brake caliper designed for the left (driver) side. Built to restore proper braking performance, this caliper delivers the fit and function expected from a factory-style replacement part.

How It Works:

When the brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure forces the caliper piston to clamp the brake pads against the rotor, generating the friction needed to slow the vehicle. A properly functioning caliper is critical to safe, controlled stopping power. Common signs of caliper failure include pulling to one side during braking, uneven pad wear, brake fluid leaks, or excessive heat at one wheel.

Key Features:

• Direct OEM-style replacement — restores factory braking performance
• Rear left (driver side) caliper
• Includes caliper assembly ready for installation
• Engineered to meet original equipment specifications for precise fit
• Resistant to corrosion and brake dust accumulation for long service life

Installation Notes:

• It is recommended to replace brake calipers in axle pairs for balanced braking
• Use new sealing washers on both sides of the brake hose banjo fitting when reconnecting the brake line
• Tighten all caliper mounting bolts to manufacturer-specified torque values
• Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove any air from the lines
