Brake Caliper for the rear braking assembly, mounted on the left-hand side.

Frequently asked questions

What does the rear brake caliper do on a Defender?
The rear brake caliper houses the piston and hydraulic inlet, turning brake-circuit pressure into clamping force on the rear disc through the pads. This is the left-hand rear caliper, bolted to the rear hub carrier to slow the vehicle.
Which Defenders does this rear left caliper fit?
This left-hand rear caliper fits the Defender from 1987 to 2006, and the Defender 2007-2016 from VIN (V)7A000001. The 2007 VIN break matters, so check yours against 7A000001 before ordering.
Does this caliper work on Defenders with ABS?
Yes, this rear caliper fits Defenders both with and without ABS across the 1987-2016 range. The caliper itself is the same either way, so ABS or not doesn't change which one you need. Confirm the left-hand rear position matches your vehicle.
Why do rear brake calipers fail on a Defender?
Rear brake calipers typically fail when the piston seizes or the seals leak, making the brake bind, drag, or lose fluid. Corrosion is common on older Defenders that see mud and salt. Replace a caliper that sticks, leaks, or won't retract the pad.
