If your 2022+ Tesla Model 3 or Model Y’s right rear brake caliper
is leaking hydraulic fluid, sticking (causing the rear-right brake
to drag), or failing to deliver consistent stopping force—this CFN
right-hand rear base brake caliper is the safety-critical
replacement to restore reliable braking. As an engineered
alternative (not Tesla OEM), it’s precision-built to match the
2022+ Model 3/Y’s original caliper specifications: from piston size
and hydraulic pressure tolerance to mounting hole alignment,
ensuring seamless integration with your vehicle’s brake system and
adherence to Tesla’s performance standards.
Brake calipers are the core of your Tesla’s braking mechanism: when
you press the brake pedal, the caliper’s piston extends to clamp
brake pads against the rear rotor, converting hydraulic pressure
into friction that slows the wheel. This CFN base caliper is
tailored for the 2022+ Model 3/Y’s rear-right wheel, featuring a
single-piston design (matching the factory’s base-trim setup) that
ensures balanced braking—no uneven pad wear or “pulling” to one
side during stops. Unlike generic calipers that may misalign with
Tesla’s brake hoses or mounting brackets, this one fits the
original hardware perfectly: the brake hose fitting matches the
factory thread size, and the mounting flange aligns with the rear
knuckle’s pre-drilled holes, eliminating leaks or piston
misalignment risks.
Durability is engineered for the harsh conditions rear calipers
face:
- Caliper Body: Die-cast aluminum alloy (same as OEM) — lightweight to reduce
unsprung weight (boosting ride comfort and handling) and
corrosion-resistant to withstand road salt, rain, and debris
(preventing rust that can seize the piston).
- Piston & Seals: Chrome-plated steel piston (resists pitting) and high-temperature
EPDM seals (handles up to 300°C brake heat) — ensures smooth piston
retraction (avoids “dragging” brakes that waste battery range and
wear rotors prematurely) and prevents fluid leaks.
- Pre-Assembled Hardware: Comes with pre-installed guide pins and dust boots, so you don’t
need to source separate parts—just bolt it on and connect the brake
hose.
Safety is non-negotiable: every caliper undergoes a 3,000 PSI
hydraulic pressure test (exceeding industry standards) to eliminate
leak points, and the mounting surface is precision-machined to keep
the caliper parallel to the rotor—critical for even pad contact and
consistent stopping power. It works seamlessly with your Model
3/Y’s original brake pads and rotors, so you only need to replace
the faulty caliper (no unnecessary part swaps).
Installation requires intermediate DIY skills (professional
installation is recommended for brake components to ensure safety):
- Safely lift the vehicle and remove the right rear wheel.
- Use a line wrench to disconnect the brake hose from the old caliper
(avoids damaging the fitting) and remove the caliper mounting
bolts.
- Position the CFN caliper, secure it with the original bolts (torque
to Tesla’s specification: 85 N·m), and reconnect the brake hose.
- Bleed the rear brake system to remove air bubbles (air in lines
causes spongy brakes) and reinstall the wheel.
Note: This is a base-model right-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 geometry) or Performance
trims (which use multi-piston calipers). It’s ideal for replacing
leaking, seized, or worn rear-right calipers—restoring your Tesla’s
stopping performance, protecting brake components from premature
wear, and ensuring safe driving.
