Metafield Product & Technical
Can I switch out a Phenolic Piston Caliper for a Steel Piston Caliper or vice versa?
Not recommended. The O.E. manufacturers specified steel or phenolic pistons based on the intended use of the vehicle. It is recommended that the installer follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
What type of fluid should I use: DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5?
As a rule, always use brake fluid recommended by O.E. The fluid type is stamped on the master cylinder reservoir lid. Always use new fluid in a sealed container.
What type of grease is used on floating caliper mounting pins?
A silicone grease is used on floating caliper mounting pins.
Could calipers be the cause of a low brake pedal?
A symptom of a low brake pedal is usually caused by air in the system, misadjusted rear brake shoes, deteriorated brake hose(s) or a defective master cylinder.
Car pulls to one side during braking. Why?
Inspect both calipers for binding or sticky slides or pins. Also ensure that brake hoses are not collapsed or restricted and inspect steering/suspension components for proper operation.
Do all of your Calipers come with the new hardware and a mounting bracket for installation?
New hardware is included with all of our Calipers however the mounting bracket is an added option depending on part number and application. Mounting Brackets are also sold separately for most applications.
Brakes squeal all of the time. What's causing the squeal?
Brake squeal can be caused by improper installation of the brake pads, improperly installed brake hardware and improper brake rotor finish.
Core
What is a core?
A core is a used automotive part that is returned to the remanufacturer instead of being scrapped.
Why return cores?
Cores are literally at the “core” of the remanufacturing process, because they are the raw material used to
start the remanufacturing process. That’s why remanufacturers buy cores back from customers, and they pay
the most for good quality cores. If a core has too much damage in key areas, it may be unusable or require
extra resources to process; therefore a reduced core payment may be awarded. This core policy explains
potential deductions that may be taken from the core price if certain components are missing or damaged.
What is remanufacturing?
Remanufacturing is the process of taking used parts, completely disassembling and thoroughly cleaning them,
replacing the worn components with original quality components, and restoring them to their original
function. Every unit is 100% tested to ensure O.E. performance.
Why “reman”?
PRODUCTS -
Reman captures used, durable goods like auto parts and puts them “back on the road” to new and sometimes
better than new performance. Reman provides the opportunity for detection of common failure modes and
incorporation of design improvements to prevent repeat failure.
ECONOMY -
Reman products cost consumers about 40% less than new. Reman products are one of the few “green” products
that actually costs less than their “non-green” counterparts.
ENVIRONMENTAL -
Reman saves up to 86% of the energy required to build a new unit. Reman realizes Greenhouse Gas savings of
up to 25 lbs. per unit over new. Reman saves up to 85% of the raw material required to produce a new unit by
reusing existing products. Reman is even more sustainable than recycling, as product castings are preserved
rather than melted down to raw material, saving energy and reducing emissions.
