It is responsible for holding the brake pads in proper alignment against the brake disc (rotor) and absorbing the immense torque generated during braking events. Over time, the sliding pins or the bores within this carrier can become corroded or seized, leading to uneven brake pad wear, dragging brakes, or a \"clunking\" sound when applying the brakes. The MAPCO carrier is manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances to ensure the caliper floats correctly, promoting even pad pressure and optimal braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e MAPCO Autotechnik\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4833\/1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Classification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brake Caliper Carrier \/ Bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-strength nodular cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corrosion-resistant finish to prevent rust buildup in the slider bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-info-block__item-list\" data-accordion-content=\"\" id=\"maker-121\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-info-block__item-list__item show\" data-accordion=\"\" data-accordion-scroll=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"product-info-block__item-list__title\" role=\"button\" data-accordion-toggle=\"\" data-toggle-model=\"\" data-article-id=\"13609713\" data-target=\"#model-121-500\" data-maker-id=\"121\" data-model-id=\"500\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eVW Golf II Hatchback (19E, 1G1) (Year of Construction 08.1983 - 12.1992)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-info-block__item-sublist\" data-accordion-content=\"\" data-parent=\"#maker-121\" data-vehicles-list=\"\" id=\"model-121-500\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.8 GTI G60, Year of Construction 04.1990 - 07.1991, 1781 ccm, 160 hp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.8 GTI G60 Syncro, Year of Construction 08.1988 - 12.1991, 1781 ccm, 160 hp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n⚠️ \u003cstrong\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlider Pins:\u003c\/strong\u003e This carrier is often the solution for seized slider pins.
