Rear Brake System

The rear disc brake caliper contains opposing dual pistons in a two-piece cast-iron housing which bolt directly to the mounting flange of the rear suspension lower trailing arm. Overhaul the cylinders without separating the caliper housing halves. Apply force to the brake pedal to create hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic pressure acts equally against all surfaces of both pistons and against both piston bore cavity surfaces. This hydraulic pressure moves the pistons outward. This outward movement of the pistons results in a clamping action on the rotor by the rear brake pads. The parking brake application is completely independent of the hydraulic braking system.
