What this part does
The rear brake caliper houses the brake pads and hydraulic piston, applying the necessary clamping force against the brake rotor to slow or stop the vehicle. Positioned on the driver side rear wheel hub, it connects to the primary hydraulic brake lines and integrates with the parking brake mechanism. A failing caliper typically seizes or leaks fluid, leading to accelerated or uneven brake pad wear, a pulling sensation while driving, or an overheating wheel assembly due to dragging brakes.

Before you order
- Verify whether the vehicle it came from and your vehicle share the same parking brake system. The Mazda 6 transitioned to an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) in this generation, and EPB calipers will not fit vehicles with a traditional manual cable handbrake.
- Check the condition of your existing flexible brake hose and banjo bolt before installation; a collapsed hose can mimic the symptoms of a seized caliper.
- Ensure the slide pins are properly lubricated and the hydraulic system is thoroughly bled to remove air pockets after mounting the replacement unit.
