Front Right Brake Caliper w/Bracket for 2006-2011 Chevy HHR - Direct

In this review of the TRQ Front Right Brake Caliper with bracket the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, affordable OE replacement for owners of specified Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models who need a direct-fit passenger side caliper. The reviewer found it delivers reliable build quality and a correct fit for compatible vehicles, making it a sensible repair part when the original caliper is seized or leaking. The item is best chosen after confirming vehicle fitment, and this review focuses on fit, construction, and real installation notes.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match the original mounting points and allow bolt-on replacement for the passenger front position on listed models, reducing installation fuss.
• OE Replacement: Built as an OE replacement disc brake caliper so drivers can restore braking function without custom modifications.
• Includes Bracket: Supplied with a mounting bracket to simplify installation and ensure proper rotor clearance compared with buying parts separately.
• Vehicle Specific: Compatibility is vehicle specific, so checking the listing fitment ensures the caliper matches wheel size and braking hardware on the target car.
• Aftermarket References: Cross-referenced to common aftermarket numbers like 18B4911 and FRC11617 to help verify parts matching during purchase or comparison.

Who It's For

This caliper is for owners of 2004-2011 vehicles in the compatible list - including Chevrolet HHR, Malibu, Pontiac G6, and Saturn Sky variants - who need a direct-replacement passenger side front caliper with bracket. It suits home mechanics and independent shops replacing a seized, leaking, or damaged front caliper and wanting a part that mirrors OE form and function.

Drivers of other makes or later model years, or those who require calipers with integrated parking brake hardware or specific pad types, should verify fitment and consider other assemblies. Also, if a full rebuild kit or caliper with pads preinstalled is preferred, shoppers may want a different option.
