The Heart of Reliable Front Braking
Your Tesla Model 3’s braking system is a masterpiece of precision—and the 8008204-00-A right-hand front brake caliper is its critical enforcer. Designed exclusively for 2017-2023 Model 3 base trims, this caliper converts hydraulic pressure into stopping power, clamping down on your brake discs (rotors) to slow or halt your vehicle with unwavering consistency.
A faulty right-front caliper doesn’t just weaken braking—it creates imbalance. If it sticks or fails to engage properly, your Model 3 could pull to one side during stops, lengthen braking distances, or even overheat. This caliper ensures your right front brake matches the left’s performance, keeping every stop smooth, safe, and predictable.
- Hydraulic Power to Stopping Force: When you press the brake pedal, brake fluid rushes into the caliper, pushing its pistons outward. These pistons squeeze the brake pads against the rotor, creating friction that slows the wheel—all in a fraction of a second.
- Heat Management: Built with vented housing to dissipate heat from friction. This prevents “brake fade” (weakened stopping power from overheating) during long downhill drives or repeated hard stops.
- Consistent Clamping: Precision-machined pistons ensure even pressure on the brake pads, so your rotor wears evenly (no warping) and braking feels smooth, not jerky.
- Weather Resistance: Sealed internals and corrosion-resistant coating protect against rain, road salt, and debris—critical for a component exposed to the elements.
Don’t risk brake failure—watch for these red flags:
- Pulling to the Left During Braking: A stuck or slow-to-engage right caliper lets the left brake work harder, yanking the wheel left.
- Squealing/Grinding Noises: If the caliper’s pistons seize, pads can drag on the rotor, causing metal-on-metal grinding (a sign of urgent damage).
- Overheating Rotor: A hot, discolored right-front rotor (compared to the left) means the caliper is sticking, creating constant friction.
- Soft Brake Pedal: A caliper leak can drain brake fluid, making the pedal feel “spongy” and reducing stopping power.
Cheap calipers cut corners on piston precision and sealing—this one is engineered for Model 3:
- Tesla-Calibrated Fit: Exact dimensions match your Model 3’s front hub and rotor, ensuring no binding or misalignment. No modifications needed.
- Leak-Proof Seals: High-temperature O-rings and gaskets (rated to 300°F) prevent fluid leaks, unlike aftermarket parts that fail in extreme heat.
- Lightweight Aluminum: Reduces unsprung weight (weight not supported by the suspension), improving handling and extending battery range slightly.
- Tested to Extremes: Validated through 10,000+ simulated brake cycles, including high-speed stops and cold-weather testing (-20°F to 120°F).
- 1x Right-Hand Front Brake Caliper (8008204-00-A)
- Mounting bolts with pre-applied thread locker
- Digital Installation Guide: Step-by-step photos, torque specs (94 Nm for caliper-to-steering knuckle bolts; 42 Nm for brake hose bolts), and brake bleeding instructions.
Note: Professional installation strongly recommended. Requires brake fluid bleeding to remove air from the system—critical for safe braking. Brake pads sold separately.
Don’t Compromise on Stopping Power
A faulty right-front caliper turns every stop into a risk. This one restores balanced, reliable braking, so you can trust your Model 3 to stop on command—whether in traffic or emergencies.
