Who It's For

The Torchbeam Rear Left caliper is best for DIY mechanics and professional technicians who need a reliable replacement that matches original equipment placement and mounting. It fits a narrow range of minivans and light commercial wagons from 2008 through 2012, so owners of those specific Chrysler, Dodge, Volkswagen and Ram models will find it a straightforward swap.

It is less suitable for vehicles outside the listed model years or for customers who require calipers with integrated electronic parking brake actuators or special aftermarket finishes. If your vehicle needs an exact OE electronic hardware match, confirm fitment before purchase.
