J.C. Whitney SET-JV27160005 Rear Brake Caliper Kit 2-Wheel Set OEM Replacement

The J.C. Whitney SET-JV27160005 is a rear brake caliper replacement kit designed as an OEM-quality replacement for the Volkswagen Jetta and GTI. This 2-wheel set includes both the driver-side and passenger-side rear brake calipers, providing everything needed to restore proper braking function to both rear corners of the vehicle in a single purchase.

Rear brake calipers are a critical component of the disc brake system, applying hydraulic clamping force to the brake pads against the rotor to slow and stop the vehicle. Over time, calipers can seize, corrode, or develop internal leaks, causing uneven braking, pulling, or brake drag. Replacing both rear calipers as a set ensures balanced, consistent braking performance and is considered best practice during a rear brake service.

Key Features:

• 2-Wheel Set — includes (2) rear brake calipers, one for each side
• OEM Replacement — engineered to match original equipment specifications for proper fitment and function
• Restores proper hydraulic clamping force for reliable, consistent rear braking
• Designed for straightforward installation using standard tools
• Sold as a complete rear caliper set to simplify ordering and service

This caliper kit is an ideal solution for restoring factory-level braking performance on compatible Volkswagen models. Always bleed the brake system after caliper installation and inspect brake pads and rotors for wear before returning the vehicle to service.
