If your 2022+ Tesla Model 3 or Model Y’s left rear brake caliper is
leaking fluid, sticking (causing uneven brake wear), or failing to
engage smoothly—this CFN left-hand rear base brake caliper is the
critical safety component to restore reliable braking performance.
As an engineered replacement (not Tesla OEM), it’s built to match
the 2022+ Model 3/Y’s original caliper specs: from piston diameter
and mounting hole alignment to hydraulic pressure tolerance,
ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s brake system
and meets Tesla’s braking performance standards.
Brake calipers are the “heart” of your Tesla’s braking system: they
house the brake pistons that clamp down on the rear rotor (when you
press the brake pedal), converting hydraulic pressure into friction
to slow the vehicle. This CFN base caliper is designed for the
2022+ Model 3/Y’s rear-left wheel, with a single-piston (base
configuration) setup that mirrors the factory’s balanced braking
design—no over- or under-braking that could lead to skidding or
uneven rotor wear. Unlike generic calipers that may not align with
Tesla’s hydraulic system, this one fits the original brake hose
connections, mounting brackets, and torque specifications
perfectly—so you won’t face issues like fluid leaks or misaligned
pistons.
Durability is non-negotiable for brake components, and this caliper
delivers:
- Body Material: Die-cast aluminum alloy (same as OEM), which is lightweight
(reducing unsprung weight for better ride quality) and
corrosion-resistant (critical for rear calipers exposed to road
salt, rain, and debris).
- Piston & Seals: High-temperature resistant EPDM seals and a chrome-plated steel
piston—preventing seal degradation from brake heat (up to 300°C)
and ensuring smooth piston retraction (avoids “dragging” brakes
that waste range and wear rotors prematurely).
- Pre-Assembled for Ease: Comes with pre-installed guide pins and boot covers, so you don’t
need to source separate hardware—just bolt it on, connect the brake
hose, and bleed the system.
Safety is prioritized in every detail: the caliper’s hydraulic
chamber is pressure-tested to 3,000 PSI (exceeding industry
standards) to eliminate leak risks, and its mounting flange is
precision-machined to match the 2022+ Model 3/Y’s rear
knuckle—ensuring the caliper sits perfectly parallel to the rotor
(a must for even brake pad contact). It also works with the
original brake pads and rotors, so you don’t need to replace other
components unless they’re worn—saving time and cost.
Installing it requires intermediate DIY skills (or professional
service, recommended for brake components):
- Safely lift the vehicle and remove the left rear wheel.
- Disconnect the brake hose from the old caliper (use a line wrench
to avoid damaging the fitting) and remove the caliper mounting
bolts.
- Swap in the CFN caliper, secure it with the original bolts (torque
to Tesla’s spec: 85 N·m), and reconnect the brake hose.
- Bleed the rear brake system to remove air bubbles (critical for
consistent braking) and reinstall the wheel.
Note: This is a base-model left-hand rear caliper exclusively for 2022+ Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. It won’t fit 2021
or older Model 3/Y (different brake system design) or Performance
trims (which use multi-piston calipers). It’s ideal for replacing
faulty, leaking, or seized rear-left calipers—restoring your
Tesla’s stopping power, extending brake component life, and
ensuring safe driving.
