Volvo Brake Caliper Mounting Bolt - Genuine Volvo 985421

Product Information

A disc brake caliper bracket mounting bolt is a heavy-duty fastener that secures the brake caliper bracket to the vehicle’s steering knuckle or suspension assembly. This bolt plays a critical role in maintaining proper caliper alignment, ensuring consistent brake pad contact with the rotor for safe and effective braking. Because it endures high levels of heat, vibration, and stress, it must remain tight and in good condition to prevent brake system failures.

• Clunking or rattling noises from the brakes, often caused by loose or missing bolts.
• Uneven or poor braking performance, due to caliper misalignment.
• Excessive vibration during braking, resulting from loose or improperly torqued bolts.

About Genuine Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
