Porsche 914 Rear Brake Caliper - 1969-76 - Left (ATE)

This rear left brake caliper is a high-quality, brand-new replacement unit for Porsche 914 vehicles produced between 1970 and 1976. Supplied outright with no exchange required, it is ideal for restorations, recommissioning projects, and safety-critical brake repairs.

The rear brake caliper is responsible for applying controlled braking force to the rear axle, contributing to overall braking balance and vehicle stability. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure forces the piston inside the caliper to clamp the brake pads against the rear brake disc. On the mid-engine Porsche 914, correct rear brake operation is essential for predictable handling, stable braking under load, and consistent pedal feel.

Original rear calipers on 914 models often suffer from corrosion, seized pistons, or hardened seals due to age and infrequent use. These issues can lead to uneven braking, dragging brakes, premature pad wear, or brake fluid leaks. Replacing the caliper restores smooth piston movement, even pad contact, and reliable braking performance.

Manufactured to ATE brake system specifications, this caliper features correct piston sizing, accurate mounting geometry, and high-quality seals. It is a direct bolt-on replacement that connects to the original brake hose and installs without modification.
