Brake Caliper, Front. Porsche 914-4 1.7L / 1.8L / 2.0L 1972>>  ❭  91435142

OE Match front brake caliper for Porsche 914-4 models from 1972. The caliper mounting points are spaced 76mm apart.

Fits

• Porsche 914 (1972-1976)

What This Product Does

The front brake caliper converts hydraulic pressure from the braking system into clamping force at the brake pads. This presses the pads against the brake disc to slow the wheel. Correct caliper movement is important for balanced braking and consistent pad contact.

Functions

• Holds the front brake pads in position around the disc.
• Applies clamping force when hydraulic pressure reaches the caliper.
• Releases the pads correctly when brake pressure is removed.
• Supports even braking effort across the front axle when paired with a serviceable matching caliper.

Technical Details

• Position: front
• Caliper type: fixed caliper
• Fixing-point spacing: 76mm
• Brake pads are not included according to the assembly reference.

Symptoms of Fault

• Vehicle pulling to one side during braking
• Uneven or accelerated front brake-pad wear
• Caliper piston sticking or failing to release correctly
• Brake-fluid leakage around the caliper seals or connections
• Unusual heat, noise or resistance from a front wheel
• Soft or inconsistent brake-pedal response

Why Replacement Matters

A seized, leaking or damaged caliper may prevent the pads from applying or releasing evenly. Replacing the affected unit can restore correct hydraulic operation and pad movement, although the brake disc, pads, hose, fluid and opposite caliper should also be inspected for related wear. Confirm the required left- or right-hand reference before ordering. Brake-system work should be completed and checked by a competent technician.

FAQs

• Which models use this caliper?
  Porsche 914-4 1.7L, 1.8L and 2.0L applications from 1972, subject to vehicle-specific confirmation.
• What is the mounting distance?
  The caliper fixing points are 76mm apart.
• Are both sides represented by the same OE number?
  No. Reference 91435142500 identifies the left-hand caliper and 91435142600 identifies the right-hand caliper.
• Are brake pads included?
  The assembly information identifies these as fixed calipers without pads. Check the required pads and fitting components separately.
