Product Description
The FRENKIT Guide sleeve kit, brake caliper (812008) is an original-equipment-quality braking hardware restoration package manufactured by FRENKIT, a specialist in automotive brake remanufacturing components. Positioned on the front or rear brake caliper mounting brackets, these sliding pins allow the floating caliper body to move smoothly back and forth relative to the brake disc. This dual-directional sliding motion ensures even pressure distribution on both the inner and outer brake pads. Over time, heat, road salt, and torn rubber boots cause these pins to rust, bind, or seize, leading to uneven pad wear, pulling under braking, and reduced stopping power. This kit completely restores smooth sliding action.

Vehicle Compatibility
This slider pin hardware configuration is precision-dimensioned to service the Lucas/TRW braking systems widely utilized across dozens of European, Japanese, and American passenger platforms from the late 1990s through the late 2010s:
| Car Model | Compatible Axle Layouts | Brake System Variant | Year of Manufacture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Renault Clio II / III / IV / Megane II / Scenic II | Front or Rear Axle (Model dependent) | Lucas / TRW System | 1998 - 2019 |
| Vauxhall / Opel Astra G / H / J / Zafira A / B | Rear Axle primarily | TRW Solid / Vented setups | 1998 - 2015 |
| VW Golf IV / V / VI / Passat B5 / B6 / Touran | Rear Axle (Fits standard 38mm/41mm calipers) | Lucas / TRW Type Systems | 1997 - 2014 |
| Ford Focus I / II / Mondeo III / IV | Rear Axle configurations | TRW Rear Disc Brakes | 1998 - 2015 |
| Nissan Qashqai (J10) / X-Trail (T31) | Rear Axle layout | TRW sliding caliper type | 2007 - 2013 |
⚠️ Brake System Type Matching Warning: This hardware configuration is engineered strictly for calipers manufactured by Lucas or TRW. It will NOT fit vehicle variants factory-equipped with ATE, Bosch, Brembo, or Akebono braking setups, which utilize completely different pin diameters, slider lengths, and thread pitches. Never use standard petroleum-based chassis grease on these slider pins; it will cause the EPDM rubber boots to swell, dissolve, and jam the brakes. Only use the high-temperature silicone grease provided in the kit.
