On a commercial van that's on the road every day, a sticking rear caliper can go unnoticed until pad wear becomes severe. This is the rear left (driver side) brake caliper with mounting bracket for the NCV3 Sprinter 2500 — a direct-fit replacement that restores full, even rear braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat This Part Does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe rear brake caliper clamps the brake pads against the rear rotor to generate stopping force at the rear axle. The NCV3 Sprinter uses a floating caliper design with a screw-type piston at the rear — meaning the piston must be rotated clockwise to retract during pad replacement, rather than simply pressed in. When the caliper slides seize, the piston bore corrodes, or the seals fail, the caliper can't release properly — causing brake drag, heat buildup, and uneven pad wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Service Note: Screw-Type Piston\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe rear brake caliper on the NCV3 Sprinter uses a screw-type (wind-back) piston. A standard brake piston press will not retract the piston — a dedicated caliper wind-back tool is required for installation. Using the wrong method will damage the piston seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Symptoms of a Failing Rear Caliper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eVehicle pulling to one side during braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOne rear brake pad significantly more worn than the other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBrake drag or burning smell from one rear wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRear brake heat buildup after normal driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGrinding from one rear corner under braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant: Sprinter 2500 Only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis caliper is for the Sprinter 2500 only.
