Rear Left Brake Caliper With Bracket for Ram/Dodge/Chrysler - Reliable

In this review of the rear left brake caliper with bracket (18-B4837), the bottom line is simple: it is a practical replacement for owners who need a direct-fit caliper across several Chrysler and Dodge platforms. The reviewer found it best suited for DIY mechanics and professional installers seeking a stout, OE-equivalent caliper that restores braking performance without costly dealer parts. Fitment is the strongest reason to buy, since the part matches the specified vehicle years and bolts right up in most cases.

Key Features

• Vehicle compatibility: Matches specified model years for Chrysler Aspen, Dodge Durango, and Ram 1500 so buyers can expect a direct fit when the vehicle matches the listing.
• Caliper construction: Built with high strength materials and advanced manufacturing to keep caliper braking power stable under road use.
• Piston design: Uses a single phenolic piston of 2.13 in diameter to resist heat transfer and reduce brake fluid vapor issues.
• Port sizes: Standard M10 x 1-6H bleeder and inlet ports simplify hose and bleed screw compatibility with common brake fittings.
• Complete package: Ships as a brake caliper with bracket for the rear driver side, which streamlines replacement and reduces parts hunting.

Who It's For

This caliper is aimed at owners of Chrysler Aspen 2007-2009, Dodge Durango 2004-2009, and Ram 1500 trucks from 2002-2010 and 2011-2018 who need a reliable rear driver side caliper replacement. It is also a useful choice for independent repair shops and experienced DIYers who prefer parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications and provide a straightforward swap.

It is less suitable for vehicles outside the listed fitment or for buyers who require fully assembled brake lines, pads, or a rebuilt core exchange program included; those buyers should verify compatibility carefully and consider calipers that include pads or a dealer service option.
